Cabin on the River

We loved this place, it was such a beautiful solid log cabin with everything we needed. It was so nice to lay in the lawn chairs on the deck and enjoy the river sights and sounds. The star viewing from bed was awesome. Great trails, hotsprings and the restaurants and stores of Stanley were nearby. We stayed four nights and it wasn’t long enough. So much to see and do in the area.

This property was clean, comfortable and beautiful. Being on the river was quiet and relaxing. The cabin was well supplied with items for the kitchen and baths. Due to low water levels the water was bottled which was fine

Water Problems

It would have helped to know the water is not drinkable and has a bad smell to it. I would have stayed someplace else.

Location by the river was beautiful. It was a nice cabin for our stay. We especially enjoyed the back deck right by the river! We even sat on the stones with our feet in the river which felt so good after a long day of hiking! We were very pleased to find bear spray in the cabin. We brought it on every hike, not only for bears but protection from any unwanted attention. :). Thankfully we didn't need it! It would have been helpful to have known prior to our stay that we had to buy bottled water for drinking due to the sulfur in the water. Several light bulbs were out so some areas in the cabin were a bit dark. And a lot of the food in the cupboards left by other people were past the expiration dates so that could be cleaned out. Just some of the little "attention to detail" items could have been better, but it did not deter from what was a very good stay. We had wonderful time and the cabin was very cozy and comfortable. Thank you for a fantastic place to stay so we could enjoy the beautiful mountains in Stanley, Idaho! :)

June stay

It's all about the view from the deck and the snow covered mountains! I have never stayed in any home that offered the private viewing of a raging famous river flowing right next to you. We loved it and would definitely stay again. The wifi didn't work that first day, but the manager fixed it the next day. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated the bottled water. The home is not air conditioned and there are no windows that open, so I would be concerned about it being hot in the summer, but it was fine when we stayed. Stanley has some great restaurants we enjoyed. We also saw pronghorns a couple of times in the distance while we stayed. There is nothing more relaxing than the sound of a rushing river while relaxing on a private deck!

Comfortable stay in Stanley

I would definitely recommend this cabin. It’s warm and cozy and you can walk to nearby stores, and restaurants. We especially liked that the kitchen has things like spices, and all the things you need to make a good meal. Most VRBOs don’t have these items, but they are a game changer. The river is awesome and we got to see the elk walk through it after they visited the hot springs across the road. Loved the Mountain Lodge Inn for food and their private new outdoor hot springs!

Love the 'happy water'

This was an amazing stay at 'Sleeping by the river'. The house was well decorated and appointed. My favorite place was lounging on the deck just watching and listening to the river....what I call 'happy water'. We would love to stay there again in the future! Sadly our stay in Stanley was abbreviated due to the wildfires burning near the town.

Wonderful stay! We came during a smokey period so it was a great place even if you need to be indoors. The view from the loft was amazing! There are ceiling fans, claw foot tub, condiments and other good things to have. Bed upstairs was comfortable.

Relaxing on the deck with The Salmon River gently gliding by was the best. The sound of the river at night was the best white noise we have ever experienced. Close to hiking, biking, AMAZING views of the Sawtooth make this home perfect for a getaway!

This is the second year we’ve booked this cabin to enjoy 4th of July in Stanley. It is a perfect place for our family. I love falling asleep to the sound of the river out back. It’s close enough to walk to anywhere in town. I absolutely love it.

Location, location!

We love this cabin. We've stayed here 5+ times over the last few years and really enjoy being on the river and close to everything. It's just a short bike ride or drive to everything we want to do and is so peaceful to come back from biking, hiking, or lake activities to just relax on the deck. The cabin is equipped with all of your kitchen needs and is cozy for the whole family!

A river runs through it!

This is an amazing place! You are surrounded by nature, but you have every comfort you can think of. The cabin is beautiful all-natural wood, big claw foot tub, huge deck for yoga, BBQ, or just lounging. The sound of the river is amazing! At night you can see a huge sky with so many stars it takes your breath away! The Sunset is great too, it takes up the whole sky! The place is walking distance from shops and restaurants and short driving distance to fishing and hiking and hunting trails.

Best stay ever

This cabin is amazing the pictures on the listimg are outdated they have updated the cabin overall. We have always loved stanley this was the first year at the cabin and we will be returning to it very clean had lots of accommodations as far as the stuff tbey had stocked for the bathrooms and odd and ins for kitchen use. Now the water does have the Sulphur smell and showering in it does make it seem like you are in the hotsprings but that is the smallest detail for what you get over all the only other thing that needs updated is the washer and dryer for it is old and can only wash like 4 shirts at a time if your just there a few days it wouldnt be bad. Highly recommend this place cant get any better on the Salomon river.
