“A mountain cabin with a private hot spring that flows straight to the river”
This modern cabin runs just under 1,100 square feet, with an open kitchen and living area that opens onto a patio built for long summer evenings. The kitchen comes fully stocked for real cooking, morning coffee included. One bedroom has its own private entrance and patio, a welcome separation for guests who want their own space. The loft holds a double queen bunk bed alongside a couch and TV, creating a secondary hangout that works equally well for kids or late-night conversations. In-floor heating, fed by the hot spring water itself, keeps everything warm without effort.
The cabin sits on five acres between the South Fork of the Payette River and the Boise National Forest, about an hour's scenic drive from Boise. The small town of Crouch is close by with several dining options. The property is bordered by the river on one side and a sizable cliff on the other. Cell service works but isn't reliable. Starlink WiFi keeps you connected when you want to be.
The private hot spring is the center of gravity here. Water arrives at 115 degrees, the pool hovers around 100 to 105, and an infinity edge faces downriver. New water flushes through every eight hours, keeping it fresh and odorless. Pool lighting extends evening soaks into night. Beyond the water, rafting, biking, and hiking start at the property edge. River access is immediate. Mornings might mean coffee on the patio watching the Payette move past. Evenings could find you around the fire pit, or back in the hot spring, watching stars appear over the forest. The pace here tends to follow the river: steady, unhurried, always moving toward rest.
