Mackay Guesthouse at Iron Ore Reserve

Relax, recharge, and enjoy the Idaho wilderness in comfort at our freshly updated vacation guest home in scenic Mackay. Tucked back in the trees off the road on our small cabin community development , “Iron Ore Reserve” (see www.ironorereserve.com if you’d like more info), this welcoming retreat features new flooring and fresh paint throughout giving the space a clean, modern feel while still embracing the rustic charm of the area. With three comfortable bedrooms—two with queen beds and one with two twin beds—the home sleeps six guests comfortably, plus there are 2 memory foam sleeping pads and bedding available for up to two additional guests. You'll find new beds and cozy bedding to ensure restful nights after a day of adventure.

The home is equipped with everything you need for a seamless stay, including a fully stocked kitchen with a stove, double oven, microwave, coffee maker and all the essentials. Two full bathrooms, a washer and dryer, and ample living space make this the perfect getaway for families, couples, or small groups. In the cold months warm up by the indoor wood burning fireplace or step outside in the summer to enjoy the outdoor fire pit and take in the stunning views and solitude of this quiet mountain town.

Explore Mackay:

Mackay is a true hidden gem for those seeking adventure and peace in equal measure. Explore Mount Borah, Idaho’s highest peak, or wander the dramatic volcanic landscape of Craters of the Moon National Monument just a short drive away. The region is a haven for fishing, hunting, hiking, and wildlife watching, with endless outdoor opportunities in every direction. Don’t miss the excitement of the PRCA Rodeo in summer or the chance to dine at authentic local restaurants serving hearty, down-home meals. Most of all, enjoy the quiet, uncrowded charm that sets Mackay apart from the busier nearby resort towns.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Change of towels is available on request.
