We loved our stay! There were 33 of us, from 75 to 7, and we had a wonderful time. We loved the new deck and ate on it every meal. We had family gatherings on it in the evenings and even a dance party one night. We would recommend this house to all our friends. Check in and out was super easy and when we had a question about anything, it was answered quickly.

Perfect property for family reunion of all ages

Our whole group loved this property and we had a great time for our family reunion. Before our stay, the host was helpful to quickly answer any questions we had as we prepared to come. While we were there, we had some unforeseen issues that were out of the control of the host but he was quick to help resolve them for us. He was excellent and we would love to come stay again in the future.

Favorite Family Reunion Cabin and Pool!

This has been our very favorite place to bring our family of 50! Amazing accommodations with bedrooms and bathrooms! There is so much to do right there-pool and 4wheeler trails and hike to waterfall. It continually gets better and better every year with the new improvements. The new deck was a huge hit for our dance party and eating and visiting. Air conditioning kept everyone cool and the new huge fridge and freezer was awesome! The host is also hilarious and fantastic! We appreciate everything that we can use in the garage for tools and extension cords too. Best experience yet and affordable. Thank you so much!

Great place

Overall this lodge is great; it worked well for our family reunion. We appreciated the onsite amenities and the spaces including the awesome deck and living room. The kitchen has lots of small appliances and a large fridge and freezer that was plenty of space for our group of 30. Loved the yard with the large weeping willows; throughout the day there was always some shade and some sun available, including at the pool. The lovely river has taller plants along the edge so it is somewhat shielded from runaway volleyballs. It should be noted that the basement (including "captains quarters" and "barracks") has no AC. We had to rearrange who slept in the captains quarters due to varying tolerances to that fact. Those who slept there set up fans in the windows at night and it wasn't bad.

What a gorgeous and quiet location! The sound of the Cub River rushing by and the birds are all we heard as we sat on the spacious deck to eat our meals. Beautiful willow trees, a large clean pool, hot tubs, lots of outdoor dining tables with shade,and glamping tents make for a fun, yet serene outdoor experience. Inside the house were bedrooms galore— the little book nook bedroom and rose room bedroom are so unique. I appreciated the double stoves, MASSIVE commercial fridge and freezer, and double dishwashers that helped me to feed our large crowd. The owner/caretaker was very friendly and dropped in with a gift of fresh strawberries and whipped cream- what a treat and so thoughtful! We are excited to stay again next year!

Unforgettable Family Time

Our family --- children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren --- spent an unforgettable Labor Day weekend at the Cub River Lodge. The property itself accommodated all of us comfortably and provided plenty of room for whatever activity or quiet time we wanted to enjoy at the moment. The outside space is large and beautiful with so many things to do ... swim, swing, play volleyball or horseshoes, fish, or sit around a campfire making s'mores and singing together. We treasured our time and made memories that will stay with us forever.

Our incredible 50th Anniversary Family Celebration

Our family gathered for a week to celebrate 50 years of marriage. 5 of our 6 children, their spouses, and 14 of our 17 grandchildren were excited to spend time together at the Red Cub Lodge. We were not disappointed in any sense of the word. We found the accommodations to be clean, comfortable, and private, close enough to the outside world, but removed enough to feel free from the burdens of crowded, busy cities, freeways, and shopping. Without question, the swimming pool and hot tubs complex was by far the favorite gathering place for everyone, especially with the temperatures in the 90's all week. The grounds were immaculate, clean, safe, and well maintained every day by our favorite host of all time, Lauren. We all felt that he was there to ensure that we were happy, safe, and comfortable at all times. He was most welcoming, and assured us that anything we might need would be provided upon request, including for our Family Olympics Day. He even took some of us on a personal tour into the furthest reaches of the Cub River Valley and shared with us the local early history and natural resources which make it such a unique and beautiful area of Idaho. As we gathered together our final evening to celebrate the 50 years, he even joined with us for a delicious dinner down by the Cub River. All in all, this experience was much more than we could have hoped for and certainly will go down in each of our lives as a very special family time of love, fun, and companionship.

Idyllic Family Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion held at Red Cub Lodge. The venue was as described, with plenty of room for our large group, both inside and out. We particularly enjoyed the spring-fed swimming pool and dual hot tubs. The property manager was communicative and helpful. We will definitely consider staying at this lovely place again in the future.

Fun Family Reunion

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lodge! The facility was more than ample for our group of 30. The kitchen had everything necessary to prepare meals. The fresh water pool was a hit and a favorite activity. The babbling river, two glamping tents, fire ring, volleyball, horseshoe pits, beanie toss and beautiful natural surrounding all added to a most enjoyable visit. We also appreciated Loren's advice, helpfulness and friendship!

Great Location!

We loved our stay at the lodge! Lots of beds and plenty of open spaces for playing games etc. But the pool is the STAR of the place, it is one of the most amazing pools we’ve ever been in. The warm spring water made all the difference! No chlorine or any chemicals just pure mountain water. Loved it! If you plan on cooking a lot as I did, the kitchen could use some upgraded tools and small appliances but that wasn’t an issue for me as I brought all of my cooking necessities from home. Overall it was a fantastic stay and we would love to come again.

Preston Idaho Reunion

We had a lovely family reunion at the cub river property. The kitchen is well equipped for a large group. The owner lives on the property, which was great. He provided our group a lot of privacy while still being available to help us navigate local hikes and access features of the property. The pool is well equipped with flotation devices and life jackets, the children lived in the pool! Our family went on hikes, toured caves, enjoyed the hot springs, and spent a day at Bear Lake. The main family room has large couches to seat a large group, which was great for movies! At the cabin there was movies, horse shoes, fire pits, hot tubs, and swimming. Overall enough space to facilitate alone time while keeping five families under one roof to facilitate bonding. Thank you for having our large group, we had a blast.
