The cabin isn’t large but it can comfortably sleep up to five guests. Inside, you will find a couch, table and chairs, sink, refrigerator, wood stove, and a propane cook range.
You do not receive service at the cabin and no electricity is available. You will need to bring your own lighting, garbage bags, and bedding. Also, if you wish to use the wood stove, bring an axe to split wood.
Keep in mind that in the summer you can drive to the cabin but in the winter, no roads are plowed to the cabin and access is only available via snowmobile.
But the cabin isn’t the only star of this accommodation — it’s the outdoor attractions. You can spend your days relaxing in the on-site hot springs. There are nearby hot springs as well if you want a change of scenery.
In the summer, there are also portions of the Middle Fork Payette River that are perfect for time in the water. You can bring a canoe and kayak or go for a swim. This is also a great place for fishing as well.
If you want to explore, there are many nearby hiking trails, as well as off-road vehicle trails. During the winter, these trails are perfect to explore on snowshoes or cross-country skis. You may also want to explore nearby roads on a snowmobile.
Boiling Springs Cabin in the Boise National Forest is an outdoor escape that you deserve — hot springs, river access, trails, and more. When are you going to plan your visit to this cabin rental in Idaho?
