Fabulous Mountain Chalet on the River with All the Amenities you Desire!

Book this one fast!!! The Middlefork River Chalet has it all with lots of room for all your family and friends. Located on the banks of the middle fork of the Payette, the Middlefork River Chalet sits above the river, surrounded by stands of pines and is completely private. When you arrive, you will find plenty of parking for all your guests, plus their toys and an RV or two. First, you will notice the awesome developed outdoor firepit area with log seating for quite a group. The chalet has three large levels for everyone to enjoy. Enter in the great room with a bank of windows up to the ceiling. Comfortable seating in the living room is perfect for enjoying the wood fireplace and the large flat screen Smart TV with Direct. Granite counter tops invite you to spend time in the homey kitchen with all the pots, pans and necessary items to prepare quick or gourmet meals. The large propane grill is located just off the kitchen on the covered deck. Enjoy meals, games and socializing at the custom-made log dining table. Down the hall on the main level are two private bedrooms each with a Queen bed and a full bath. Laundry area is located within the closet area of the right-hand bedroom. If you head upstairs, you can hide-out in the super quiet loft area with antique juke box and other historical items. A dedicated office space is available if you need to work. Two guests can sleep comfortably in the loft area futon. Just off the loft, the master suite with Queen bed, full bath, separate shower and old-fashioned claw foot soaking tub awaits! Heading down to the lower level you will find another bedroom with a Queen and a bunk bed. And a full bath. A second living area with Smart TV, sleeper couch and seating make for two separate living areas for large groups. Also, downstairs is a full-size pool table and foosball game. Heading outside you will find so many exciting things to do – from the large fire pit, basketball (bring your own ball), horseshoes to the developed beach area on the river with chairs and sunshades! Stroll across the little bridge to the hot tub area perched high above the river. Soak, relax and take in the views. An inviting bistro table and chairs lets others join you even if they don't want to use the hot tub. The middle fork of the Payette is easy going for tubing, kayaking and you can put in up the river in the Boise National Forest and float right back to the cabin!

Beautiful Location
Our family had a wonderful getaway at this house. It was a great size for our family of 6 kids and 6 adults. The hot tub above the river was fantastic. The kids found a place to sled and spent most of the day light hours sledding. The only negative I would have is that the beds were not the most comfortable.

Camping without a campfire
The cabin was great, as always. The only disappointments were that there was too much smoke from the forest fires, and we weren't able to have an outdoor fire. Also, the flush valve in the main floor toilet allows a small amount of water to be wasted. We all still had a great time.

Family Time
Enjoy the home, we have stayed several times. At the end of the day when everyone is relaxing after a full day, perhaps wanting to watch a movie, check messages, play a game, the internet is not very good. This trip the hot tub had to be drained and cleaned, one quest broke out with a rash, I personally had a rash and itching, don't know if it was the clorine/chemicals used to clean the hot tub, never before had a problem.

Beautiful home and location
Very well stocked home - everything we needed. 8 and 10 year-old grandsons loved the video consoles. The adults loved the pool table. Beautiful surroundings, lovely hot tub, great river access, and we appreciated that the deck had closeable gates to keep dogs and/or little ones (we didn't have any) in safely. Fabulous stay!

One scary night😂
As usual, we love this cabin! It fits our needs totally as we have 11 people. This is where we go for our annual mountain trip. We only missed one year and I believe that was because of Covid. Other than that one year, it was every year since 2008. The addition of the downstairs bathroom really was nice and updating things here and there. This year had a few surprises such as a blackout. We couldn't find any emergency box so did the best we could for most of the evening and into the wee hours of the next day. Also, the toaster went kaput…that was interesting as everyone wanted toast. With that being said, all you have to do is call Karen and you know it will be taken care of. I am not sure we will be able to go back to this cabin next year as we are all getting older and more fragile and it's harder to manage all the stairs and also getting down to the river safely. Gee I remember the earlier trips where we brought tubes and floated down the river. Such fun memories!! Great place and great fun!!!

Best time EVER!
We have been renting this cabin for several years now and have always enjoyed the experience. We love the big kitchen and wrap around deck. My family floats the river during the day and enjoy s'mores by the fire during the evening. We love that we can bring our dogs. A true family gathering in the perfect setting. Thank you!
