About this business

Now that I am a snowbird 3 months of the year I have done the float trip 4 times, 3 with Aaron ,1 with Hunter. Great trip, great value, great guides!! Haven't stayed there but the cabins look awesome just to pricey !! Will be back every summer when we take visiting relatives. 

Business response:

Thank you or your great review and we look forward to serving you next year. You may want to consider a stay in one of our cabins in the off season time (winter) as we have cabins available and it is quite breathtaking during this time of year as well. Let us know how we can be of further service to you.

We are repeat customers! Had a wonderful time and brought home 80 total pounds of dressed fish! Due to our ages we were housed in cabin #4, with no steps to navigate. The staff that owner Bob and manager Andy have assembled are second to none. Their enthusiasm in dealing with guests gives you the feeling that you are their only visitors, and they are sole purpose is to make your visit a memorable experience. We travel south next year but we will definitely return.

There are three bedrooms and two baths downstairs and two bedrooms and two bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. Each room slept between 3 and 4. The guides we had for a float trip, salmon fly fishing and hiking were awesome - very knowledg... read more
