Places to stay in Challis

Started the Christmas holiday right by spending several days relaxing in this delightful rustic cozy log cabin that was well-equipped w/ a full kitchen, extra amenities, games/puzzles, TV apps, & a well-functioning pellet stove & space heaters. Loved the host's extras, like the festive holiday decorations, goat milk soap & lotion, and fresh hen & duck eggs. Enjoyed walking around the beautiful property & stream and visiting the friendly farm animals (chickens, ducks, farm cats, guinea hens, goats, & working dogs). Quiet scenic location off the beaten path & surrounded by BLM lands. Scenic drive to/from Stanley for recreation & nordic & snowshoeing. Plenty of walking trails near Challis. Lamb's Market grocery store & gas stations easily accessible. Highly recommend dinner at the Real Deal Smokehouse for delicious pulled pork & tri-tip. Very hospitable hostess who was a great communicator. Would happily spend another holiday in this cabin!

Amazing view and super cozy. The loft bedroom was perfect for the main guests!

Richard and April were wonderful hosts! They have thought of so many things you might need while staying at their lodging, and, if you needed anything additional, they were quick to respond. Thank you so much, Richard and April! We had a marvelous time, and so enjoyed what the area has to offer in the way of wildlife sightings, hikes, and hot springs. Thanks for your help with maps and instructions. It was lovely to come home at the end of each day and cook a meal in in our very own place. Loved the vintage appliances and decor; I'm old enough to have grown up with similar items!

Perfect spot to stay while visiting the hot springs. It was so nice to get back from the hike and not have to drive.

This Airbnb was so awesome! It is very cool that it is in the old jailhouse. The fold away stairs are a super cool feature and the unit was really clean. Check-in was super easy. The best part though was the shower! The 2 shower heads were awesome and plenty of pressure and hot water. Within walking distance to downtown Salmon and the grocery store. Worth every penny and would recommend!

Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this place. We went for a weekend to get out of town and it was amazing. Sitting on the porch, listening to the river while drinking coffee was so wonderful. She had the sweetest dog who would come visit every morning and it definitely made the trip better. Also, the toilet seat was heated so that wins. The only downfall was no smaller knives for steak and no bbq tools. At least that we could find. But, if you want a quiet place to reset this is it. Go here, you won’t regret it.

Absolutely the coolest log cabin ever with the river on one side and gorgeous view of mountains on the other. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Clean, updated and perfect for our family of parents, adult kids and grandkids. Temperatures were a bit hard to control upstairs vs downstairs and the hot water left something to be desired, but honestly expected as much since it’s an older home. Clean, comfortable beds, and very helpful/responsive host! Definitely recommend for a stay in Salmon.

Great stay! Very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.
