The cabin sits right along Henry’s Fork of the Snake River. You can enjoy views of the river and the surrounding area on one of the two viewing decks. This is an excellent place to enjoy an early morning or sit and stare at the stars each night.
You also never know what animals you may see as you sit and relax. It isn't uncommon to see wildlife such as moose, elk, eagles, and waterfowl right from the front door.
The river near the cabin is wadable and floatable. During the warmer months of the year, this is the perfect destination to spend some time out on the water and away from the crowds.
Try your hand at fly fishing, bird watching, or even waterfowl hunting during your stay. In the winter, you may want to try snowshoeing or cross-country skiing while exploring the property.
You can even just sit back and enjoy the quiet of the ranch. Aside from the animals and the host, no other guests are on the property, ensuring you have plenty of privacy and a getaway to remember.
When you stay at Henry’s Fork Ranch in Idaho, your getaway will check every box — peace, quiet, cozy accommodations, countless outdoor opportunities, and more. It’s a cowboy getaway that you will love.
