wonderful weekend by the river with our pets
The log cabin is larger than it appears in the pictures. The deck overlooks the wonderful river. We feel asleep listening to the river . The views are amazing of the mountains.

Love the 'happy water'
This was an amazing stay at 'Sleeping by the river'. The house was well decorated and appointed. My favorite place was lounging on the deck just watching and listening to the river....what I call 'happy water'. We would love to stay there again in the future! Sadly our stay in Stanley was abbreviated due to the wildfires burning near the town.

Wonderful stay! We came during a smokey period so it was a great place even if you need to be indoors. The view from the loft was amazing! There are ceiling fans, claw foot tub, condiments and other good things to have. Bed upstairs was comfortable.

Relaxing on the deck with The Salmon River gently gliding by was the best. The sound of the river at night was the best white noise we have ever experienced. Close to hiking, biking, AMAZING views of the Sawtooth make this home perfect for a getaway!

Another perfect stay
This is the second year we’ve booked this cabin to enjoy 4th of July in Stanley. It is a perfect place for our family. I love falling asleep to the sound of the river out back. It’s close enough to walk to anywhere in town. I absolutely love it.

Location, location!
We love this cabin. We've stayed here 5+ times over the last few years and really enjoy being on the river and close to everything. It's just a short bike ride or drive to everything we want to do and is so peaceful to come back from biking, hiking, or lake activities to just relax on the deck. The cabin is equipped with all of your kitchen needs and is cozy for the whole family!

A river runs through it!
This is an amazing place! You are surrounded by nature, but you have every comfort you can think of. The cabin is beautiful all-natural wood, big claw foot tub, huge deck for yoga, BBQ, or just lounging. The sound of the river is amazing! At night you can see a huge sky with so many stars it takes your breath away! The Sunset is great too, it takes up the whole sky! The place is walking distance from shops and restaurants and short driving distance to fishing and hiking and hunting trails.

Best stay ever
This cabin is amazing the pictures on the listimg are outdated they have updated the cabin overall. We have always loved stanley this was the first year at the cabin and we will be returning to it very clean had lots of accommodations as far as the stuff tbey had stocked for the bathrooms and odd and ins for kitchen use. Now the water does have the Sulphur smell and showering in it does make it seem like you are in the hotsprings but that is the smallest detail for what you get over all the only other thing that needs updated is the washer and dryer for it is old and can only wash like 4 shirts at a time if your just there a few days it wouldnt be bad. Highly recommend this place cant get any better on the Salomon river.

Cabin on the River
We loved this place, it was such a beautiful solid log cabin with everything we needed. It was so nice to lay in the lawn chairs on the deck and enjoy the river sights and sounds. The star viewing from bed was awesome. Great trails, hotsprings and the restaurants and stores of Stanley were nearby. We stayed four nights and it wasn’t long enough. So much to see and do in the area.

Great Cabin
We met up with two other couples (so 6 people total) in Stanley for the week. This cabin was perfect for us. There is one bedroom downstairs and then upstairs there is a loft with two beds. We couldn't find the second bed until we opened some closet doors (big closet) and there it was. We had a good laugh about it. Although that bed sits on the floor, my husband and I found it comfortable. We are 66 and 69 so getting out of the bed was a little more challenging than the normal beds but it wasn't bad. Just know you might put the younger people on that bed. The cabin was well stocked with towels, Toilet paper, soap, etc. The kitchen had great pans and was well stocked with those random items like spices or oil, etc. I was worried we might have road noise but in all honesty, it didn't bother us at all. The only times we heard vehicles were when the truckers used their jake brakes or a loud motorcycle went by. The wonderful sound of the flowing river may have drowned out the vehicle noise as it wasn't bothersome. Everyone in our group took walks up into Stanley and the field around Stanley. A couple of issues which I've seen mentioned that really weren't that big of a deal is know the water smells highly of Sulphur-which makes sense with all the hot springs around. While it smelled bad, my husband tried it and said it didn't taste bad but bring your own bottled water. The other thing is the pictures really don't do the cabin justice. Would definitely stay there again!

Water Problems
It would have helped to know the water is not drinkable and has a bad smell to it. I would have stayed someplace else.

Little piece of heaven
Adorable cabin situated right beside the river. Sitting on the back deck and listening to the sounds of the river creates an amazing feeling of peace and relaxation. Watching the elk come down off the mountain each evening was just an extra perk.

We found natural hot springs not far away. We experienced a herd of elk walking up river not far from the deck. There was still alot of snow on the ground. The cabin was warm and very comfotable. The mountains are beautiful and look forward to going again.

Great Overall
Visited with some friends for a few days of hiking (during the summer) and it was great. Great location in Stanley and also on the water. The upstairs bedroom has a window that you can open and listen to the river at night. The water in the cabin has a slight sulfur smell so I wouldn’t plan on drinking it. The owners were very helpful and answered all questions almost immediately.

Perfect Getaway
Everything was perfect about this stay. Property was in walking distance to town (even in winter). Cabin was clean, host was thoughtful with how she stocked the kitchen and bathroom. We liked the puzzles and selection of dvds! Would stay again! *I do recommend bringing your own drinking water, as the sulfur smell in the water was pretty strong (at least in winter)* Thank you for everything.
