FALL / WINTER ALERT: Our shower facility and on-site potable water at The River Cabin are now deactivated due to freezing night temperatures. That’s North Idaho 🥶🙂. Cabin water is available from a hydrant at our host cabin and we provide water containers and a wagon for your water fetching adventure. Finally, The River Cabin will close for the season around the end of December depending on snowfall conditions. If you book a December visit we reserve the right to ask you to arrive in a 4wheel drive vehicle or cancel your booking due to weather conditions. Thanks for your understanding. Note: We have a Bonners Ferry, ID mailing address but our physical location is approximately 30 miles North of Bonners Ferry and 1 mile South of Eastport, ID. We are a mile South of the Canadian Border just off US 95. Also, please note: Our tent campsite and RV campsite have separate booking sites but share the same shelter and toilet. If you book either site the "other" booking site is blocked during your stay. 2024 SEASON INFO - New for 2024 we will have a swing set down by the river below the campsite.

Paul is incredibly accommodating and the property is beautiful. Unfortunately, our already short trip got cut even shorter due to an unexpected emergency. However, we plan to come back and spend more time in this incredible and relaxing spot. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Cedar Grove Riverside Tent Camp

We had a nice time and got to experience some nice weather up in the mountains next to the river. Tent pad, fire pit, bathroom, shower and much more all next to a river. Everything as described, would definitely go back.

Iron Horse Forest River Cabin

Paul was an incredible host, and our stay at the cabin was absolutely perfect. The scenery was breathtaking, and we were completely surrounded by nature’s beauty. My husband even caught a fish right by the river! We had an endless supply of firewood, which made for cozy evenings spent reading, relaxing, and listening to music—just enjoying life to the fullest. The cabin was thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need, and we quickly realized we had packed way too much after seeing all the amenities available. One of the highlights of our stay was falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the river flowing nearby. It created such a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. We can't say enough positive things about the location, the amazing scenery, and the overall experience. Thank you, Paul, for a truly memorable getaway!
