Karen was an excellent host. She was prompt with communication and friendly in all interactions.

We absolutely loved our stay at Grand View. The views really were beautiful and the snow made the experience even magical. The cabin was so well-equipped, we had everything we could possibly need and more. The cabin was the perfect location for a holiday with our family.

Karen was great to work with, responses quicjly, and answered all of my questions. Very nice!

Elk Ridge was fantastic. The views were amazing, the cabin was cozy and clean, and it was overall a great trip!

Karen was great. She answered promptly when I had questions. I really appreciated everything she did.

I really enjoyed the property, and I would definitely stay again. I loved the geothermal pools that was included in our stay. I plan on going next month.

Karen was fantastic

very good --- just as expected

Karen was very helpful and answered all my questions very promptly!

Love this house! The fact that it is being worked on/upgraded is a big plus too.

All people we interacted with from Idaho Vacation Cabins were very friendly and efficient. We dealt mostly with Karen, who from the beginning gave us the impression we were her only clients. I never had to explain who we were and which cabin we had rented. I would call and say hello, and she would say, 'i know who you are, how are you?'. Overall, a great experience!

We stayed with 7 people for 8 days during the holidays in December 2018. Living in Houston, Texas we were very much looking for the 'log cabin in the snow' experience, complete with 4WD trips, elk on the road, log fire places, cold mountain air, hot tubs in the snow, snowball fights and friendly locals from a tiny little town. The Middlefork River Chalet delivered all that and plus some. There was snow on the ground when we arrived, but in the week after, it snowed almost every day or night, transforming the place in a winter wonderland. The hikes through the forest around the cabin were fantastic, the cabin itself was large with good beds with lots of activities to entertain everybody, while the hot tub on the banks of the Payette River was an experience by itself. We all loved it and will certainly be back. Willem and Sylvia van Adrichem, Houston TX, Dec 2018

Karen was awesome every time I talked to her or had to call her for any questions prior to our arrival

This cabin was absolutely beautiful, we will definitely be back!!!!

Karen was phenomenal. I had many questions and she was always quick to respond and pleasant to work with!

Worked very well for our needs.

It was easy to get all the information I needed and all of the instructions were very helpful.

This cabin was honestly breath taking from the beginning. Even though it is in a neighborhood type setting, it is totally secluded and you forget you even have neighbors. I absolutely love the porch with all the seating area and ofcourse, the hot tub!! The inside was spotless and so nicely decorated. The kitchen is beautiful and stocked with all the cooking supplies you could need. I will definitely plan another stay at this cabin when we need a break to the woods! Thank you for everything, it was perfect!

--- Karen is fantastic!

--- definitely will stay there again ---

Good

We had a great time. We soaked in the community pools twice, watched several movies, went to lunch at the restaurant Terrace Lakes Golf Course and then went upstairs to the bar and played shuffleboard and pool. In the evening, we made ourselves a fabulous steak dinner and then played board games. It was the relaxing weekend we were hoping for!

It was great working with Karen. We decided to go at the last minute and she made it easy to set up the details by being so responsive. I also appreciated her diligence to connect with me to provide directions. I didnt have an email on file and she had to call several times to reach me via phone because my voice mailbox was full (I didnt even know!). I appreciate that sense of urgency to connect so that we had a smooth check in.

Garden Valley is only an hour and a half from Boise which makes it very accessible for a weekend get away. The directions were great so that we easily found the property despite the windy-maze-like road. The layout of the cabin offers a balance between personal space and group space which is the secret to joyful family gatherings. We spent a lot of time hanging on the porch, cooking, watching movies, and enjoying some lovely down time with each other. Well certainly be back.

It was difficult to reach the property manager when we were trying to check-in. However when we called later about the hot tub she was responsive. The check-in and check-out directions were unclear because they were not specific to the house.

Beautiful house, fun stay. The airbnb ad was a little misleading about proximity to the hot tub-- it was a 20 minute walk away.

Karen was great to work with. Thanks for helping us find such a great place!

Karen was a pleasure to work with. Everything was detailed on how to find the lock box and the property. Just a note on the lock box. It is not easy to open or lock.

The water has a bad smell, almost of rotten eggs (must be the gas). The shower was not enjoyable due to this issue. We didn't bring it up to Karen since we figured it is just from the well and the area. Otherwise, everything was great. Good location, cute place.

Karen was fantastic!

Great property, great patio!

Everyone we talked to was absolutely fantastic and very friendly and helpful.

It is a beautiful place and seemed to be very clean. It was great to have the handicap accessibility however the downstairs bed was way too high for my little old mother. The elk that came to visit one morning were added benefit. We had a great time and we're glad that we were able to extend our stay an extra day.

Karen was very responsive to our questions

We enjoyed it very much. The dirt roads were somewhat a hassle, but also a welcome change from the concrete world.

Karen is wonderful to work with. Always emailed or returned calls. Because of the 20 minute drive to town, we may not rent again, but we may. Beautiful cabin.

Cons--about 20 minutes from Garden Valley Mkt and coffee shops which may be a plus for some. There are no bedside or chair side lamps(we brought our own)and most of the light bulbs were out in the first bdrm off the living area. Deck is south facing so unusable in summer after noon or so but we totally enjoyed our coffee in the morning looking at the river. Probably be great in spring and fall. Pros--The VIEW--AMAZING-we watched the rafters, deer and wild turkeys! No neighbors, totally private. Excellent air for the hot south facing kitchen and great working WIFI. The kitchen was well stocked. No dishwasher which was Ok for us. Cabin is all on one level--a real plus. Only one bath but it is huge with plenty of towels. Overall, we loved the cabin. It would be hard to find a better view. If privacy and view are what you are looking for, look no more--this is it.

We worked with Karen and she was great! Communicated with us regularly and promptly. Very professional and helpful!

We loved staying at River's Bend in Lowman. There was so much to do as far as hiking, rafting, and exploring quaint towns, etc. We would love to visit again!
