Cabin style home

Unwind at this beautifully restored 1932 cabin style home. This cozy house located in Challis Idaho is the perfect spot to relax, slow down, and unwind.

For adventure seekers, it is the ideal home base. We are about a 30 minute drive from Gold Bug Hot Springs.

We are in walking distance to local restaurants, bars, and the library. There is a local spring where you can fill your water bottles with fresh water.

Beautiful House
Check-in time is at 2pm - I reached out to property owner/manager at 1:45pm day of check in, about the check-in details, because they had not been released yet. The phone number on the property to contact the owner was not in service so I had to message him through VRBO only. There was some back and forth on what check-in time was now to be expected - the check in time was moved from 2pm to 6pm due to cleaner having some issues and owner revealed his working phone number at 4pm. Upon arrival, the house was beautiful! 5/5 stars. Some issues we had: -Dishwasher was broken and that was not disclosed until 4:30pm on check-in day. -The bedrooms are not centrally heated so the bedroom doors had to be open to get heat. Only heater was located in living room. We would stay again, however, better communication would need to take place.

Very poor communication
Once we actually got into the house it was nice and clean. However, getting into the house was a challenge. No check in details were provided before the stay and I was unable to reach the owner at either phone number or through the messaging service on the app. We had to sit and ring the Ring doorbell constantly in order to get the code to get into the house. It took 3 hours to get into the house due to lack of response from the owner which should never happen. Even Vrbo customer service was unable to get ahold of him. So anyone planning on staying here in the future should attempt to obtain check in details prior to the day of arrival to avoid this happening to them. The host said the check in info is online but on the VRBO app and online and in the email I received it said the host has not provided check in details. Maybe he has on other sites but that’s not what I used. Other than that the house was fine, no concerns with the property, just the lack of owner response.

Great place to stay!
Great place to stay! Stayed with friends to run the local River of No Return race and this was a great place to sleep and recover. Place was clean, bed was really comfortable and everything was great! Only thing that could improve a little was I didn't receive the instructions to get in until the morning of our visit, which was a little unnerving. However, we got the instructions and got in just fine.

Too many RULES!
Nice place, clean and modern, comfy king bed. BUT….there’s MANY RULES POSTED THAT AREN’T MENTIONED IN LISTING….. dogs not allowed on carpet or furniture, no SHOES on carpet, must STRIP ALL SHEETS, couldn’t use any dishes for dog. Had a detailed description of how exactly to close shower curtain. Now I’d never allow dogs on furniture but not on carpet?! And taking off shoes on carpet!!! Jeez! Bathtub was cute as an old fashioned cattle watering metal tub but it was so high I couldn’t step over to get in, although I have balance issues and a bum leg that can’t raise that high. I wish I knew it was that high before booking. I could see picture but couldn’t tell how tall it really was. Bed was very tall, mattress nice and firm and supportive with a nice pillowtop type mattress pad. It was so nice to have a king bed! Wood burning stove was nice and entire place has a nice rustic, but modern cabin feel. Now in addition to $145 rate, I paid $50 for pets, $30 for cleaning and $20 service fee….so don’t you think THEY could do the bedding…at LEAST? Isn’t that exactly what I’m PAYING FOR? So overall, I wouldn’t choose this place again. Not enough "service" offered and I think they need to change to NO PETS as it’s not really pet friendly. I need to say my 2 dogs are 25lb extremely well trained and well behaved Australian Shepherds. It’s not like I had two giant wild crazy dogs running around. Funny how some of these “rules” really irked me and left a bad taste in my mouth. I’ve stayed in at least 20 VRBOs and never found any as fussy as this one. I have photos but don't see a way to attach them to this review.

Comfy spot, kind host
Our stay at Jason's house was wonderful. With a party of four adults, two kids, and a dog, everybody had their own sleeping space, and plenty of room for lounging in the living room. The new appliances in the kitchen were a serious perk, and we really appreciated the on-demand water heater for providing us all with a great shower experience without having to worry about hot water supply. Jason was a joy to communicate with! He welcomed us warmly and gave us all the little tips needed to make our time in Challis the best possible. If you want to visit Goldbug Hotsprings, they Pahsimeroi Valley, or any of the many other natural beauties of the area, Jason's house makes a great base camp!

Beautiful Stay
The mountain views from the property are gorgeous! Jason's place is clean, nice, and has everything you'd need. Especially loved the large sectional and the shower. The House Rules are only listed inside the home so be advised that you'll need to keep pets out of your bedrooms and off the furniture.

Nicely remodeled home
Challis is a small, quaint little town and finding a rental is difficult. We were lucky enough to find this little gem. Located within the town of Challis, too. From the outside it was not overly impressive, but the inside was very nice. It was clean. And it had all of the amenities we needed. I would stay here again.

Interior was very clean and comfortable. Great Kitchen! One bathroom with 5 people was tough. One of the twin beds sags. Quiet neighborhood close to town but not far from the golf course. No yard or decks. I would rent here again.

The property was everything as advertised, except the tv's. They are smart tv's but without cable/internet/wifi, there's nothing smart about them. Anyway, we fired up our mobile SONOS and had a wonderful evening listening to music and cooking dinner. If visiting Challis, it's a great place to stay.

Cute House in a Small Town
We stayed as two families coming through town to explore the area. The house is cute inside, comfortable and well stocked. Jason was responsive and helpful. The area is pretty sleepy but is close to a lot of outdoor options. Goldbug Hot Springs was amazing. The house comfortably sleeps 6 and the couch, which can easily accommodate a couple kids, is super comfortable. It was a lovely stay.

Nice place for a weekend rental
My partner and I spent the weekend in Challis with Jason’s home as our base. The property is very close to the Bayhorse Ghost Town which was unfortunately closed but we got to drive past and a lot of hiking/off roading trails. Be careful when using the sink! It is very high powered. The home suited our needs and was close enough to the local grocer and food that we could walk.
