About Redfish Cabin

A stay at the historic Redfish Cabin is like having your own private Idaho! Nestled in the trees above the northern shore of Redfish Lake at an elevation of 6,570 feet, the historic (Civilian Conservation Corps 1930's era) cabin offers a perfect getaway for a small family or group of friends. The cabin is warm and cozy, the views are breathtaking, recreation opportunities abound and starry nights provide a gateway to heaven. And you can share it all with your canine family member. The Sawtooth National Recreation Area was established in 1972 for its natural, scenic, historic, pastoral, and fish and wildlife values. Redfish Lake is by far the most popular location in the area; however, a fall or winter visit provides a totally different experience than the "Coney Island" atmosphere of summer. Available only in the fall and winter, this is a special time of year where few visitors come to enjoy the beauty and solitude of the lake and surrounding mountain peaks.

The Redfish Cabin is warm and cozy. The refrigerator, microwave, electric stove, coffee maker, and gas furnace make it very comfortable. Melting snow for water and using the outhouse are not a problem. This was my third overnight this winter and I feel so lucky. As someone who lives in the Wood River Valley, staying at the Redfish Cabin and skiing across Redfish Lake on the frozen lake and looking at the Sawtooth Mountains are a treat and a real vacation. There was need for newer kitchen equipment, so I bought newer pots and pans, more forks, a new guest book, and a really nice tea kettle. All of this was bought at Ketchum's Goldmine at a reasonable price. It is nice to feel so connected to this beautiful, rustic cabin.

The cabin was clean and the heating worked perfectly! Had slight issue with the front door (the one the leads from outside into the kitchen). It appeared as though the door frame was swollen from water, making it extremely hard to get the door shut. We appreciated the puzzles that were left at the cabin prior to our visit. No dish soap at the cabin, make sure to pack that.

Had a good time, I just took myself and my children up there for the night. Nothing fancy, just some peace and quiet at a cabin on the lake. It was amazing
