Many lakes, creeks, trails, hot springs, wildlife, ghost towns, hunting areas, and camping sites make this location ideal for your adventuring. Enjoy some of the yummiest food close by at various cafes, smokehouses, and diners. Conveniently located right in town.

Rustic valley cabin.
Pretty good little house. I must say some things need address.. The oven temperature would not set Properly. The window AC unit is loud right above Your head watching tv. You are lucky to get a 5 minute shower before the hot water runs out. The heater in the bedroom needs to be addressed when super cold. If these things were all taken care of it would be a great little place. It served my purpose for 7 days.

Great little spot!
This little cabin was perfect for a stay in town. Warm, cozy, and all the amenities you need. That fold out sofa couch is hands down the most comfortable one I’ve ever slept on. Hosts were terrific! 10/10

Cute, cozy cabin
Our group of four stayed for two nights at the cabin as part of a long road trip. We were thrilled by the town of Challis and all the friendly people we met in town. Our hosts left great recommendations for the area. We ate at the Real Deal Smokehouse and checked out the Bayhorse Ghost Town nearby- they both were wonderful! The cabin was a bit snug for four adults, but the beds were comfortable (including the pull-out couch) and we had plenty of bedding/towels for our stay. We were grateful to have a coffee pot to use in the morning! We would recommend this as a great spot for couples. Overall, it was a nice stay and our hosts were friendly and responsive.

Escape to Challis!
Super clean and cute place! Excellent communication with Eli when we experienced a technical internet difficulty the first night. He graciously put us up in his other rental 0.1 mile away and promptly fixed the issue the next day. The hideaway was darling and perfect for us to celebrate our anniversary. This being our longest vacation is 2 years, it fit the bill. Challis is such a beautiful place, rich in outdoor activities as well as history. My only suggestion is to bring a sun shade as the backyard has no protection from the sun and it can get hot. Thank you for a marvelous 5 nights!

Lovely Challis
This place is a lot better than staying in the motels in town. I love the decoration in the cabin. Only complaints were their were little black ants in the kitchen. I pretty much cleaned after every meal real good and mopped and they came again. The doorway height was pretty low for my tall husband hitting his head all the time. The pull out bed was very comfortable and bed was firm for my picky husband. We were hauling a trailer which made walking very convenient from the cabin. I love Challis and I was very glad to not have a grumpy husband with this lodging.

Cozy cabin in the center of hot spring adventures
We absolutely loved our stay up in Challis! This cozy cabin was perfect for everything we needed. We were able to take our pup with us and enjoy all the beauty that surrounds Challis, such as the many hot springs and mountain espcapes. Eli was so quick to get back to me with a question I had, which was much appreciated. We were able to enjoy getting out of the city and hiding away in the small town of Challis. The deer and bunnies that hung out in the front yard were such a cool thing to see. The fully stocked kitchen allowed for us to make our small Thanksgiving dinner here. What a wonderful place to stay! Thanks for the wonderful long weekend escape.
