Perfect stay in small town, USA

Stayed here with 5 other friends for the River of No Return Endurance race. It was absolutely perfect size and price. Literally couldn't find something better. The kitchen had everything we needed for our communal meals and the fire pit next to the creek in the backyard sealed the deal. The neighbors were very friendly as well. I'll be staying here again.

Perfect for our family

What a relaxing and comfortable home! We are 2 brothers and a sister in our 60’s with one adult nephew, visiting Challis for an event. The three bedrooms are god sized with comfortable beds. The dining table is fabulous for eating, visiting, and playing crib! We didn’t really cook while there, however, there are plenty of equipment and basic supplies. The backyard area is gorgeous- I loved listening to Garden Creek rush by. Close to local activities. The bathroom is small but certainly worked just fine. To sum up- quiet, comfortable with very attractive decor. Even my brothers loved it!

Awesomeness in Challis

We had a wonderful time in Challis. The home is beautiful and well-appointed in a comfortable and peaceful setting. Our stay could not have been any better. We will hopefully be back soon to enjoy the crisp nights and wildlife (deer) in the yard!

Quickly fixed a problem

Because of a mixup, the home wasn't ready when we arrived. Our host quickly solved the problem by moving us to a bigger, better property -- and with a partial refund to boot.
