Stanley ID - Yankee Fork Mountain Cabin -
The cabin was a great base camp for our stay. Close by to an old dredge museum, a ghost town and nice fishing ponds and creeks. You can also do a little gold panning for fun. The sunbeam hot springs are also super close. The cabin itself is older and well loved, but very clean and has lots of space. Overall would strongly recommend as a great, clean and affordable stay in a fantastic location.

The Stargazer Cabin and Dome
My wife and I went here for a weekend getaway and immediately wished we could stay for longer. The view from the bedroom was amazing. We could clearly see the Big Dipper at night. Everything was clean, the host provided many things that made our stay better. We would absolutely return.

Maple's Hideaway
Very enjoyable stay. Beautiful landscape with plenty of trees. We took advantage also of the ghost town and historic sites.

Room 1. Valley Creek Lodge. Wheel chair accessible
Clean room and clear check in/check out instructions. Would stay here again

🌲 Modern romantic 2-bed log cabin in the forest 🪵
This cabin was very clean and looked exactly like the pictures. There was plenty of everything that was needed. it was peaceful and quiet. The hot tub was amazing. We would definitely stay again.

Stanley Chalet
My husband and three kids (6, 5, 3) had an incredible time. The house was fully stocked and was an excellent base for exploring in the area! We loved the location in town. Utilized the grill, ping pong table and seating outside.

Creekside log cabin nestled in the pines on 1+acre
If you are looking for the most peaceful, gorgeous, rustic mountain getaway with every amenity you can imagine, this is your place!!! You won't want to leave! You will be directly next to the creek. We visited in May, and the rushing sound of the creek lulled us to sleep! There are so many rustic details and beautiful handmade wooden touches in the cabin. The too bathrooms are very clean and updated. The beds are comfy, with nice linens. They have thought of every detail, this was the most well stocked Airbnb we have ever stayed. The outdoor kitchen is gorgeous and they have everything you need! Lindsey, Ramo and Maya went out of their way to make sure we had the best stay ever! They are very responsive to every question we had! With this being an off grid solar property, we were pleasantly surprised with the wifi. If you're looking to unplug and recharge, you have found your place!

Cabin in Clayton on Salmon River
It was a little difficult to find but other than that it was absolutely beautiful and we would definitely go back again

Your guide to Stanley
Welcome to Stanley
There isn’t a lot to keep you busy in Stanley itself — its speck of a downtown spans only a few sparse blocks of restaurants and shops, and the town is home to fewer than 100 year-round residents. It's the wilderness all around that draws adventurers here. Set in the Sawtooth Valley, where craggy peaks define the skyline, Stanley has an outsized reputation for outdoor recreation, with easy access to the sprawling Sawtooth National Forest. Alpine lakes for paddling, mountains to climb, trails for biking and hiking, and legendary stretches of whitewater on the Salmon River all draw free spirits to central Idaho’s backcountry. In the height of summer, Stanley hosts street dances and small festivals featuring country and Americana musicians. Come winter, much of the town hunkers down for the seemingly endless supply of snow, when Stanley turns into a playground for a lucky few snowmobilers, Nordic skiers, and snowshoers.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Stanley
Late spring through summer sees this sleepy town transform into a busy basecamp for backpackers, rafting outfitters, and backcountry guides, with outdoor recreationists taking advantage of the long, warm days. Rafting season typically kicks off in May. Local festivals and open-air concerts fill the calendar through Labor Day. If you’re a hiker, fall is a great time to book one of the area’s cabin rentals, as the season ushers in cooler temperatures and fewer crowds on the trails. During winter, few travelers venture into the cold and ice, though for lovers of snowmobiles and skis, it’s worth the trek.
Top things to do in Stanley
Sawtooth Scenic Byway
Three designated scenic byways converge on the town of Stanley, giving road-trippers hours of scenic drives in each direction. At 116 miles (186 km), the Sawtooth Scenic Byway is the shortest, but it packs a lot of scenery in a route that passes from the city of Shoshone through the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and into the Sawtooth Valley. Along the way, you’ll take in views of river canyons, lakes, and the shimmering peaks of the Rocky Mountains.
Salmon River
Stanley sits on the banks of one of Idaho’s most iconic rivers for rafting. Snowmelt from the towering mountains runs into the headwaters of the Salmon River, where many local outfitters lead rafting tours. Many of the popular whitewater day trips offered in the Stanley area focus on segments of the river suitable for families and inexperienced rafters. Some stretches are also fun for kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders.
Redfish Lake
Just south of Stanley, you’ll find the largest alpine lake in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Ringed by evergreen forests and blessed with views of mountains in the distance, Redfish Lake is a scenic spot for hiking, and a number of trails start here. Summer is the high season for boating, kayaking, windsurfing, and fishing. The day-access beach also draws families, sunbathers, and picnickers. The lake freezes over in winter, when unploughed roads make the area inaccessible except to cross-country skiers, snowshoers, and people experienced in the backcountry.
