Lots of room and peaceful
Had a great time, there was plenty to do, so much that we didn't get to most of the games we planned to play. Heated pool, bed rooms, kitchen, great room and the outdoor space were all you could need. The property care takers were very helpful and nice. Don't worry about the drive there, just listen to directions from the property, not Google.

Incredible stay
We had our destination wedding here. The entire trip was perfect. The property is in the most amazing location. There are endless activities for everyone to do. The rooms were great and plenty of space for the 40 of us that stayed there! I highly recommend for any wedding, family reunion, or just trip with friends/family. Everyone was asking when we were coming back as we were packing up! The host was great and easy to communicate with and Mike and Amity who live on the property are amazing.

Rustic getaway
This was an amazing place for our family reunion! Our family of 30 had plenty of space to spread out, both in the house and on the property. The listing was accurate as to amenities and the host, Steve was very responsive to our pre trip questions. The best part of our stay was the extremely helpful on site property manager, Mike and his wife Amity! It was an unexpected perk to have someone right there to answer questions about the area or help when we needed extra supplies. This is a truly unique property and experience!

Great group retreat location!
Our group loved our 5-night stay at Lazy H! We were a group of friends centered in Boise who wanted a group vacation to relax and rest. Our highlights: -Spacious enough for everyone to work on projects or have time by themselves while also allowing space to have group activities. -Great amenities - the pool and hot tub, the well-stocked commercial kitchen with commercial fridge. The icemaker was awesome! -Adequate seating for meals -Everyone loved having a private bathroom in their own bedroom. The beds were comfy and the rooms larger than we expected -The outdoor activity and relaxing options. Nice walking areas, we fished in the pond (catch and release), and some of our folks even took up the amazing groundskeepers up on horseback rides (an additional cost for those who chose to, very reasonably priced!) - The friendly donkey (Eeyore) who almost everyone in our group took a picture with! The only challenge we had was that the cleaning crew was given a different date for our check in, so half of the lodge wasn't ready for us and the pool wasn't filled (nice to know they clean between stays!). We are an easy going group so not being able to access bedrooms for an extra few hours wasn't a big deal to us. We're already deciding on dates for next year!

2nd time and just keeps getting better!
We had another incredible stay at this property in Atlanta, ID—our second time here, and it just keeps getting better! The home was spotless, with top-notch amenities, and the views of the Sawtooth Mountains were spectacular. Perfect weather made it even easier to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Our entire group loved it, and we would definitely love to come back again! Highly recommend!

Second Stay at Lazy H - even better than the first!
We loved our second annual stay at Lazy H! We're a large group that travelled from Boise, and we had a great time! The owners even made some appreciated improvements - 2 additional sinks in the kitchen, handles on the kitchen drawers, and box fans in most of the bedrooms! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful property - we can't wait until next year!

Fantastic location!
Our family reserved a week at the lodge for a family reunion and it was fantastic. Location is spectacular, the grounds are lovely, the lodge spacious, clean and convenient. We absolutely loved the swimming pool and hot tub, and spent hours every day in the lake enjoying the paddle boards, kayaks, canoe, raft, etc. Back at the lodge there was so much to do from horseshoes to ping-pong to pool to golf. What a magical place! The caretaker Dave was wonderful and could not have been more helpful. One complaint: we felt that the listing was unclear about some things and I suggest that potential renters check with the owner about the amenities you care about.

A trip to mountain paradise
We came here to the Lazy H ranch in June of 2024 with our family, ranging in ages from 1-64. It was truly incredible. Bright spots were the heated pool, horseback riding, hot springs, and star gazing. Truly an amazing trip.

Great Location, Great Accommodations!
This was the 5th year our group of industry retirees got together, we had 21 of 25 friends who planned to go actually make it. Merlin and the staff were invaluable in making our stay so enjoyable. The beauty of the location defies description. The ranch is equipped with many amenities for various activities and the pool filled with hot springs water great. The road to get there is “the road less traveled” but a wonderful experience awaits you at the ranch.

Paradise
We rented the lodge for a destination wedding and couldn't be happier with our choice. The city of Atlanta is absolutely gorgeous and the views from the property are breathtaking. There's everything you could ever want to do on the property. Everyone loved their stay and kept telling us this was the best weekend ever. The grounds keeper, Merlin, was very helpful. He went above and beyond to help us set up for the wedding and helped with anything we needed during our stay. Couldn't recommend more!!!

80th birthday celebration
We loved the ranch. The accommodations were spectacular, the pool was great one it was cooled down a little. Great dinners on the porch with a view down the meadow at the Sawtooth Range, what could be better. The "ponds" were a little disappointing. The Middle Fork of the Boise River however was spectacular.

The Most Magical Small Mountain Wedding
Seriously the best of the best. The property is insanely gorgeous. The house and the kitchen were so perfect for our family and friends to gather and enjoy each other’s company. Merlin was amazing and so helpful, he even helped my aunt fix a flat tire. I could go on forget about this beautiful place and the amazing people who run it. I will be always be grateful for them helping facilitate my dream wedding in the mountains!

AMAZING PLACE
Amazing, Awesome and many other words I can think of to describe this place. Plenty to do and lots of room to do it. Hiking, Hot tub, Swimming, Water Volleyball, Tennis, Basketball, Breathtaking Views, and so much more! Went to the river and went Cliff Jumping ! Like it says on the description "Just show up and have fun!" There was something to do every day!! With so much to do we never left the place! I told Steve (the Owner) that I was probably going to ask a million questions and he answered all of them quickly and said "Keep them coming." Merlin ( the groundskeeper) was alway there with a smile and info on the area and helped us out with anything we needed! This is an AMAZING PLACE to reconnect with Family!!!

Great week!!
Our family of 43 had a wonderful family reunion week! The lodge is big, beautiful and great for gatherings. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen is great, lots of fridge/freezer space and a huge ice maker. The caretaker, Merlin, was AMAZING! We had a plumbing issue but they worked to fix it as quickly as possible. Highly recommend renting a side-by-side from Jason up the road so you can explore the area.

Middle of nowhere..... And amazing!
Atlanta is tiny and the perfect setting for this property. The dirt road in is at least 2 hrs long but as long as you're prepared for that its lovely. The property and house setup are AH-MAZE-ING! We have multiple families that we travel with each year and we love to hang out in the common areas together... But it's really nice to have your own room and bathroom and spot for quiet time when needed. Highlights of the trip were the lake (catching frogs, snakes and tadpoles, swimming, canoeing and lounging on the dock), midnight pool swim under the stars, kickball, hiking, volleyball, shuffleboard, making ice cream, and shooting (off the property... But there are great spots close by). Bring lots of sunscreen and bug spray. The kitchen is really huge and fun! We loved the ice cream maker and made at least 4 batches while we were there. The huge ice maker made it easy to get all the leftover fridge stuff back in the coolers for the long drive home. One of our family members had to fly out mid week and a plane came right to the property and picked him up... That was convenient and fun for the kids to watch. Merlin and Steve were both lovely to work with. I would absolutely book this property again!!!

Family wedding getaway
After reading reviews I knew that I didn’t need to worry about having my wedding here. The photos do not do this place justice! The rooms are extremely spacious, the main hangout area is absolutely huge, and the kitchen gave so much room to cook for us all. Merlin was extremely helpful and Steve was quick at responding. This location was perfect for a small wedding and providing so much to dance, drink, have fun, and take beautiful pictures. The hot springs fed pool and hot tub was a huge hit, it had people in it every hour of the day. We’ve already planned to come back for our anniversary.

We had a great time! Plenty of space to spread out, but also a great place to gather together. The road in was crazy, but that what you get in the winter. The pool and hot tub were great to sit in and watch it snow. The house was laid out like a hotel so everyone had their own space. As soon as we left we wanted to come back. We definitely will come back!

Fall wedding out of a Fairy Tale
My beautiful wife and I picked this location for a destination wedding earlier this year after a search for venues that would host approximately 50 people. We had some reservations about seeing a place for the first time just two days before the big event, as we live in Oklahoma and our entire group was spread out between Oklahoma, Chicago and Kansas City. As we read through the reviews, we thought we might be getting scammed or reading reviews of people that were paid off to write such glowing and elaborate sonnets . Surely this place couldn’t be that amazing… Right?? Wrong. From the moment we arrived on the property, all of the reviews made perfect sense. This place is literally heaven on earth. We are not world travelers by any means, but We've been some places, and this is easily one of the most majestic places in the entire world. Steve was amazing and accessible with the numerous questions we had leading up to the event. The caretaker Merlin was kind and immensely helpful. Make sure to have time to appreciate the views at sunrise and sunset as well as go away from the house at night for otherworldly star gazing. We had a blast hiking around the huge property, playing volleyball and soaking up the views. The rooms were ample in size and very clean. The commercial kitchen is fantastic for events. The reviews, including this one, may seem over the top and hokey. They aren’t. This place is hard to comprehend and the pictures absolutely do not do it justice. If you are thinking about this place for whatever event you have planned.. DO IT!! You will have the best time of your life and then write yet another 5 star review like us. We WILL be back, and hopefully sooner rather than later Matt and Colleen

Spactacular setting for a real getaway
Few places can compare in terms of having a expansive, stunning property all to yourselves. River, natural hot springs and miles of trails all are right there. The lodge is comfortable and fully equipped. It was perfect for our family reunion. The caretakers on site were very helpful. The two hour drive over unpaved roads is somewhat challenging but the reward of having an entire world to yourself is more than worth it. There are no stores in the area so bring all your food. The one restaurant in town is charming.
