FALL / WINTER ALERT: About mid October we will have to deactivate our shower facility and on-site potable water at The River Cabin 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. It is a common use amenity open to River Cabin and Campsite guests. Adult supervision is required. Thank you. You are in a forest on land shaped by the last Ice Age, The forest has nurtured generations of of wildlife including majestic birds of prey. It sustained the Kootenai People before borders separated their lands. It saw determined miners pass this way seeking their fortune in gold from British Columbia.

Our family is the current steward of this forest and it is our wish to respectfully share its beauty and observe its wildlife with your family and friends!

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!

Cedar Grove RV/TRL Park/Campsite

We were absolutely amazed by Paul's set up. Not only is the campsite right on the River, but he has thought of all the extras that just make it special. The shelter with grill and picnic table was perfect and even had a dinner bell. The bathroom was set up nice and clean. There chairs and a table and playground down by the water. He was also very friendly. We can't wait to return!

Anniversary Getaway!

This was my second stay at Paul's cute cabin in the woods! I brought the hubby and our dogs and celebrated our 15th anniversary. It was peaceful, lovely and relaxing. I love the upgrades and enjoyed the chats we had with the other couple camping. They were very kind, loaning me a wine glass and making us a s'mores plate with a packet that made our fire pretty colors! We will be back for sure!!!

Cedar Grove Riverside Tent Camp

Perfect Hipcamp

What an amazing spot Paul has. We had a fantastic time and got to experience the changeable weather up in the mountains with an unexpected downpour on the Saturday night. Paul's directions were super easy to follow. The campsite is exactly as described. The tent pad large enough to accommodate our 14x9ft tent with no problem. The fire pit is large and the included wood supply is a wonderful addition. It was pretty chilly while we were there and we really appreciated this aspect. The layout of the campground is the camping site on the northern side of the host cabin with the rental cabin on the southern side of the host cabin so even though the cabin was occupied, there was plenty of separation and privacy. The tent/camper site has its own vault toilet which is just a few steps from the tent pad. The shower house is opposite the host's cabin and that is shared by the tent and the rental cabin. The hot water shower was much appreciated and the bathhouse layout is great. The tent site is right on the river and easy enough to walk down to where the river access is. There are some thoughtfully placed rocks which act as stairs should you want to cool off in the river on a hot summer day. A really nice addition is the swing set if you have kids along. The shelter with the dining table, bear box and bbq were awesome and provided great shelter to watch the rainfall. Overall, really great setup and we will be back!
