Stay

Sleep under the tallest mountain in Idaho.

There is one cabin on this farm and a handful of good, plain places to stay in the valley around it. This page is both — ours first, because we know it best, and then the neighbours we send people to when we're full.

The cabin · in progress

Fourteen by fourteen, facing the tallest peak in Idaho.

A fourteen-by-fourteen log cabin from Sticks & Stones of Shoshone, set on seven acres of sage at the foot of the Lost River Range. Power and light inside, water supplied, a camp shower and a privy — no plumbing, no traffic, no light pollution, and the whole valley out the door.

The rest of the valley

Where else to sleep around Mackay.

One cabin doesn't hold a whole valley. These are the places we point people to — small, family-run, and honest about what they are. Rates and availability are theirs, not ours; call them direct.
