Getting To Know Idaho
Idaho is often overlooked when people think about adventuring in the Western United States, and it shouldn’t be. Known as the ‘Gem State’, it boasts over 30 State Parks, each with something unique to offer. There is rock climbing on world-class routes, picture-perfect lake beaches, Oregon Trail history, picturesque skiing opportunities, and so much more.
Many of these cabin rentals in Idaho are also near Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Tetons, and in Idaho itself, Lake Cascade. If you plan to enjoy your cabin stay in Idaho in the Summer months, you’ll find excellent white water rafting opportunities, amazing hiking experiences, and plenty of other water sports.
In the winter months you can expect world renowned ski slopes, snowshoeing, snowmobile activities, and dips in the natural hot springs. If you’re more interested in cozying up by the fire in your romantic cabin, there’s plenty of opportunities for that too.
It is advised that when planning to travel by car, you rent or use a vehicle that has four-wheel or all-wheel drive. Much of Idaho is still kept very rural, and although they are used to random snowstorms, you may not be.
Between the remoteness of some of these cabin rentals in Idaho and the possibility of unexpected weather, it’s best to be prepared when getting around, no matter what time of year you travel. With all that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the best cozy cabins in Idaho!
