    The property was designed with the outdoors in mind. Plus goats, chickens, geese, horses. A bit off the beaten path with a gorgeous view of the Salmon River Canyon.

    Terri and Frank were great hosts. It was one of the best places I have stayed at. The property was beautiful and the room was very comfortable. Would definitely stay there again.

    It was a nice spread, set back off the main highway just enough to make it feel secluded. Very peaceful and quiet. Terri was a gem, such a great hostess. She took such great care of us, and made us feel right at home.

Welcome to our lodge in the heart of Idaho, where the mountains meet the rivers and life slows down just enough to truly enjoy it. We’re Terri and Frank, and we’ve made this beautiful corner of the West our home after many years in Wisconsin. With a deep love for nature, travel, and community, we’ve created more than just a place to stay—we’ve built a space where guests can reconnect with the outdoors, unwind, and feel truly welcomed. Our journey has taken us all over the world. Terri spent her career with American Airlines, while Frank ran his own construction company. Along the way, we’ve hunted in remote corners of the globe, and our lodge features a collection of taxidermy displays that reflect those adventures. We feel privileged to have shared our harvests with communities in Africa, and those experiences continue to shape the way we welcome others into our home. Family is at the heart of everything we do. We’re proud parents of three daughters, grandparents to seven, and great-grandparents to two. Every guest who stays with us becomes part of that extended family. Whether you're here to explore Idaho’s wild beauty or simply to enjoy a quieter way of life, we’re here every day to ensure your stay is memorable, meaningful, and full of warmth. We invite you to experience the peace, adventure, and hospitality that make our lodge a true home away from home.
