Mackay Bunkhouse - Beautiful home with large deck right on the Big Lost River

The bunkhouse is a retreat right on the Big Lost River. The huge deck with patio furniture overlooks the river, just feet away. The wood floors and stunning western walls give you a true western feel. Bedrooms, laundry room, and full kitchen. Wi-fi and smart tv help you enjoy your stay, but with the 180 degree views of mountains you will not want to stay inside. The large deck has many places to enjoy the sound of the river close by or for barbequing a meal. Fishing, ATV riding, snowmobiling, hunting, hiking and many other adventures are close by.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

This was a great property with the river right off the back deck. Just a short drive outside of Mackay. Owner was great and easy to work with. Property was perfect for our fishing/hiking trip! It was super clean and very comfortable.

Fabulous experience!

We had an amazing time staying at the Bunkhouse. Everything was as close to perfect as you could get & Theresa was more than accommodating. Inside was well appointed, clean & comfortable. But the star of the property is the wonderful back deck just steps from the river not to mention the 360 degree views of the best mountains Idaho has to offer! Wr definitely plan on returning!

Beautiful house with great location.

We recently stayed at the Mackay bunkhouse for 3 nights and 4 days.The location was amazing. Our days was spent enjoying the view of the mountains and our nights were spent out on the beautiful patio listening to the river. The house was fully stocked.We felt right at home from the décor to the comfy beds.Mike and Theresa were very accommodating and fabulous hosts!
