Unforgettable Family Time
Our family --- children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren --- spent an unforgettable Labor Day weekend at the Cub River Lodge. The property itself accommodated all of us comfortably and provided plenty of room for whatever activity or quiet time we wanted to enjoy at the moment. The outside space is large and beautiful with so many things to do ... swim, swing, play volleyball or horseshoes, fish, or sit around a campfire making s'mores and singing together. We treasured our time and made memories that will stay with us forever.

We had our wedding here and the property was beautiful! The Lodge and grounds are just as amazing as the photos. Scott was very responsive and helpful during the planning process. The owner of the property lives above the garage and he was also very helpful and let us use his tools and other items to set up for the wedding.

This property is perfect for a family reunion. The bunk room would be so fun for a bunch of cousins to enjoy. Plenty of beds for a huge group. The outside was fun with lots of activities available.

Beautiful Location, Never wanted to Leave
The property was beautiful, and had enough activities to occupy adults and children for 4 full days. The lodge is not huge inside, but the distribution of bathrooms worked great! The living area was comfortable for meals and hanging out. Perfect for a family reunion. Looking forward to going back again.

Precious Family Time
Our family of 30+ stayed at the property over Labor Day weekend, and our experience was memorable in every good way. The lodge and property more than met our expectations with lots of space to gather inside together, well-stocked kitchen and an abundance of bathrooms, individual space for everyone, beautiful outdoor space for activities of every sort. It was precious family time we'll remember for a long time to come. We hope to make more memories there in the future, too.

Great location
We loved our stay. This was the third year in a row staying here but unfortunately I’m not sure we’ll be able to go back as the rates have increased. The only complaints are with the AC, it gets quite hot and the ac units don’t quite keep up especially two upstairs bedrooms as the power kept cutting off and the rooms became unbearable. Overall we love this place and we’re sad to be looking for another place for our reunion next year.

Great place for family
We have stayed at various places with our family of 32 each summer for the last 4 years. They voted this place their number one choice because of the pool, hot tubs, swings, sounds of water from the Cube River, the layout of the house, TV's, Corn hole game, and the natural beauty. It is also great to have the host on site to answer any questions. It was great. We want to book it again, but it appears to be booked several years in advance.

Great Location!
We loved our stay at the lodge! Lots of beds and plenty of open spaces for playing games etc. But the pool is the STAR of the place, it is one of the most amazing pools we’ve ever been in. The warm spring water made all the difference! No chlorine or any chemicals just pure mountain water. Loved it! If you plan on cooking a lot as I did, the kitchen could use some upgraded tools and small appliances but that wasn’t an issue for me as I brought all of my cooking necessities from home. Overall it was a fantastic stay and we would love to come again.

Beautiful location!
We held our family reunion at the Red Cub Lodge. We had nearly 40 people at the party. The biggest hit with the family was the pool. The kids especially loved it. The nightly campfire was so fun too. The only difficulty was that the internet is spotty and TV reception was difficult except in one room. But then, we didn't come there to watch TV. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of beds. I loved the sound of the running Cub River.

Fantastic mountain cabin
We chose this house for our wedding weekend with all of our friends and family. We had approximately 30 guests and never felt like the house was too crowded or over filled with people. Everyone had a great time. The owner and his father, Scott and Laurin, were wonderful and so helpful in our planning process for the wedding and the genrtal overall weekend. We were even able to arrange a time to meet Laurin and see the house a few months prior to the even to prepare all of our decorations and supplies. This place is perfect for a retreat, family gathering, and wedding!

Great place for a family reunion
Our family of 40+ stayed for 3 nights and had a lot of fun. The pool and hot tubs are the best, along with the big beautiful functional backyard and activities there. The lodge is older and does not have A/C and got very hot in the afternoons. The owner’s father lives above the garage and is very kind and helpful. The owner didn’t always respond to messages we sent. There were a lot of newly remodeled bedrooms and bathrooms and 2 fun tents near the river with king size beds in them which were nice and unique. We also found a bat in the house the last night!

Perfect wedding weekend
We hosted our family and friends for a long wedding weekend, including a ceremony and reception in the backyard. It could not have been more perfect - all weekend it was so nice to have so many little spots for small groups to break off and hang out, whether they wanted to sit in the shade and chat, play lawn games, nap in a swing, or swim. The willows and the river were just stunningly gorgeous and the house was exactly as expected per the photos - neat, clean, and very comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for hosting such a massive group (32 overnight guests and up to 52 daily). Laurin was so wonderful throughout the planning process, promptly answering my questions and going above and beyond to research solutions for us. Everyone kept saying it was the perfect spot. We highly recommend the Red Cub Lodge and already can’t wait to plan a trip back!!!

Preston Idaho Reunion
We had a lovely family reunion at the cub river property. The kitchen is well equipped for a large group. The owner lives on the property, which was great. He provided our group a lot of privacy while still being available to help us navigate local hikes and access features of the property. The pool is well equipped with flotation devices and life jackets, the children lived in the pool! Our family went on hikes, toured caves, enjoyed the hot springs, and spent a day at Bear Lake. The main family room has large couches to seat a large group, which was great for movies! At the cabin there was movies, horse shoes, fire pits, hot tubs, and swimming. Overall enough space to facilitate alone time while keeping five families under one roof to facilitate bonding. Thank you for having our large group, we had a blast.

Our incredible 50th Anniversary Family Celebration
Our family gathered for a week to celebrate 50 years of marriage. 5 of our 6 children, their spouses, and 14 of our 17 grandchildren were excited to spend time together at the Red Cub Lodge. We were not disappointed in any sense of the word. We found the accommodations to be clean, comfortable, and private, close enough to the outside world, but removed enough to feel free from the burdens of crowded, busy cities, freeways, and shopping. Without question, the swimming pool and hot tubs complex was by far the favorite gathering place for everyone, especially with the temperatures in the 90's all week. The grounds were immaculate, clean, safe, and well maintained every day by our favorite host of all time, Lauren. We all felt that he was there to ensure that we were happy, safe, and comfortable at all times. He was most welcoming, and assured us that anything we might need would be provided upon request, including for our Family Olympics Day. He even took some of us on a personal tour into the furthest reaches of the Cub River Valley and shared with us the local early history and natural resources which make it such a unique and beautiful area of Idaho. As we gathered together our final evening to celebrate the 50 years, he even joined with us for a delicious dinner down by the Cub River. All in all, this experience was much more than we could have hoped for and certainly will go down in each of our lives as a very special family time of love, fun, and companionship.

Dream Vacation for Family
We had a family reunion at the Red Cub Lodge. Scott was incredibly kind and accommodating to let us look at the property prior to our stay. Loren the property caretaker was as kind to us as could be. He was helpful and full of knowledge about the area and the property. The cabin is a little bit older as most cabins are but they have done a fantastic job of updating it and making great use of the space for a big group. It was really clean which was a huge bonus as we have stayed at several that have not been taken care of so nicely. The outdoor part of it was probably everybody's favorite. We had people fishing, the swings throughout the yard were always in use, the volleyball and cornhole were a huge hit. The pool and hot tubs were never empty either. It was awesome to look around and see so many kids outside playing together instead of on their phones. We will be coming back again. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy such a beautiful place!

Fantastic Family Reunion
We had the BEST time at Red Cub Lodge! The grounds were beautiful and there was SO much to do. We loved the shade from all the willow trees. Obviously the pool was where the kids spent most of the time. The only heads up that we had for future visitors was that some of the room descriptions were a little generous around how private and secluded certain areas were. Outside of the 2 master bedrooms everything is very close to each other. We didn’t mind this at all. However if you are looking for a very quiet corner for perhaps a newborn crying baby; you would be able to hear it through the neighboring rooms. The on site landlord was a big plus and he was willing to help us with everything. The kids who all tried, caught fish. Temperatures were not a problem with the new A/C units. We will be coming back!

Amazing property!
This property is a hidden jem! Right off the main canyon road, but feels like your own little oasis! So much to do on the grounds with the swings, hammocks, corn hole, horse shoe, pool, hot tub, and just relaxing listening to the river! River not for playing in- is too fast moving and rocky for that. But it sure is beautiful!! The on site host Lauren was so nice!! He was there when you need him, but we did not feel like he was intruding or anything of the sort. We didn't really see him the whole time! It was actually nice how much he helped to get us settled and answer our questions when we got there. He even took a few of us in his car up the canyon to show us the best places to hike and ride our 4 wheelers. The 'A' tour! ;) You'll love your stay and all the space inside. A couple notes: the floor in the basement is a coated cement with a few rugs. Unexpected for us, but did not phase us or our kids one bit! (And it's easier clean up if you have any spills!) Tons of towels for the bathrooms and even more for the pool! We Highly recommend!!!

A Wonderful Place to Play and Relax
My family, fourteen of us including my wife, daughters, son-in-laws and grandchildren, had a wonderful nine days at this delightful home on the Cub River. We entertained ourselves primarily outside at the pool/hot tubs, playing corn hole, volleyball, tether ball, fishing, and on the various swings. In the evenings we enjoyed a few outside fires, but mostly spent our time lounging the living area or playing games at the dining room table. When it was time to drift off to sleep we slipped away to the various comfortable bedrooms or out to the tents on the river for a restful sleep. The river rushing by the two tents is incredibly serene. Lauren was around caring for the property and answered any questions we had. He was completely available, but utterly unobtrusive. A most gracious and kind host. This is a quiet serene place in a beautiful little valley. Shopping is about 20-30 minutes away and we made a few trips to town to pick up some items and have a soft cone ice cream. All and all we had a really grand time. I would highly recommend the place for a family gathering or a get together with a few small families and friends. Just remember to snag one of the glamping tents on the river for a peaceful night’s sleep.
