Take a picnic trip and soak in Worswick Hot Springs . Goat lake is a must see if you can endure a moderately steep 5-mile round trip excursion plus 1 mile hike. Lots of old mining sites to explore. There's nothing like the sound of a mountain river just out your back door. Experience the dark Idaho sky. Photo opportunities are unlimited . Solar power gives you all the modern amenities while still keeping you off the grid and green. The outside entertaining area is perfect (3 decks!) plus firepit for large groups or cozy couples. S Pick your spot and hang the hammock to read or relax. Plan your menu, bring your food and everything else is there. Perfect place to unplug, you'll be sure to create memories that will last a lifetime, off grid, and in touch with nature. Please no RV, tent or camper parking allowed. As a reminder we are 100% solar

Outstanding place. This is our third time staying here, and we love it. The property is exactly as described and the host is amazing. We will definitely be back again.
A Serene Getaway with Stunning Views – Exceeded All Expectations!
We had the most incredible stay at this location—it truly exceeded our expectations in every way! The property was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, from kitchen supplies to cozy blankets. All we had to bring was our clothing and food, which was great considering we flew in from Ohio. The views from the house were absolutely breathtaking—truly a slice of paradise. Whether you’re looking to relax or explore the surrounding area, this place is perfect. We can’t wait to come back and experience it all over again!
The place is amazing. Carolyn truly owns a special place and shares it. We have come here two years in a row. Place is clean and large enough that we can have many family members come and visit and enjoy the Mts. Cabin is set up with everything you need to cook your meals, the deck is perfect to eat ouside every evening. Firepit is a great place sit and laugh and enjoy time together with family and reconnect and forget about the world right next to the river. Thank you Carolyn for everything!!!
This property fullfilled all our needs and expectations. The house was clean, well stocked, had a lot of outdoor seating options, and had river access. We plan on booking next year.
There isn't much more to say than I said last time, or has been said before. This place really is perfect. The river, the fire pit, the house, all perfect. Love the new gazebo with the swings - we spent so much time out there. Book it - you won't regret it!
This was our third year staying at this wonderful cabin. You would think that it would go downhill after three years but no it just keeps getting better and better! Truly my happy place!
This property is top notch and is a perfect "get-away" for a large group. We enjoyed many nights by the fire as well as sitting next to the river while we enjoyed our coffee in the mornings. The wildlife came to visit us everyday and we couldn't have asked for a better place to relax and unwind! Thanks for everything, Carolyn! Your house is amazing!
This property is truly amazing. It is as advertised and is completely off the grid in the mountains which is exactly what we wanted. So many outdoor activities to do around the property. The river is beautiful and runs right through the backyard. The fire pit is the perfect gathering place for the group at night with plenty of nice chairs provided around the fire. We had an amazing trip. The off the grid living was easy to get used to. You just have to remember to turn off lights when u leave a room and start the generator if you want to use the appliances that draw significant power. There is a digital meter in the kitchen that tells you what the power level is at. If it drops below a certain level then just start the generator. The host was very responsive and answered any and all questions I had. All the beds were super comfortable! What a perfect place. All of us kept talking about what a dream it would be to have a place like this to escape to.
We had a wonderful time. Campfire was great place to sit around with love ones and visit and relax. The river was amazing. I grew up coming to this area in the 70s and 80s coming back was so much more than I could have even imagined. Seeing the kids in our group experience and explore this area as I did as a kid was such a joy to me. Carolyn thank you so much for giving us this special opportunity to stay at your beautiful property. Lifetime memories were made.
Excellent private comfortable compound. Access to trails, hot springs, valley bottoms , and mnt tops are just out the door. Lots of parking for everything from an RV to a mnt bike. We enjoyed having access to the garage as well to store and work on our motorcycles. Kitchen was well stocked with pretty much anything you’d need to cook with.
Our group referenced the reviews of this property in order to prepare, and everything was as described. The location is beautiful, the kitchen is well stocked, and following the instructions allows for access to all appliances and amenities as described. We traveled a far distance with a pet and an infant and wanted for nothing throughout our stay. It was amazing.
This place was one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed at when traveling out west. If you are looking for a place to unwind and enjoy the back woods this is the place to go. My family and I spent the entire day sitting down by the river that runs behind the property and sitting out on the back porch. The home was equipped with games, fishing poles, and many more entertaining activities to keep you busy on your stay. My favorite activity was laying on the hammock reading a book! I would highly recommend staying here. Carolyn was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We loved this home!
This was the perfect off-grid property! We loved it!
This was the Best ever property for us. 11 total stayed and had lots of room for everyone!! Hiking, motor bike trails, swimming, fishing, river floating, we did it all right from the cabin! We will be going back!
Beautiful cabin in a most amazing setting. Hiking, fishing (right from the house!), sitting by the fire… so perfect! Skillets Hot Springs is a great hike! Carolyn and her husband are responsive and very helpful!
We had another wonderful week at the cabin. Beautiful weather, beautiful river, beautiful home. We absolutely love every single minute we spend here every year and always leave with a longing to return as soon as possible. Absolute perfection.
Enjoyed the backcountry with all the luxuries of home!
What an amazing property! This cabin is set up smartly! Plenty of room for everyone and everything you could possibly need.
We enjoyed the UTV trails and the hot springs nearby and in the evening, a campfire by the creek.
Great location. Wonderful accommodations. An incredible place for how remote it is.

About the host
Hosted by Carolyn
I am a Idaho native and my husband, Chris is a transplant California. We love the recreational opportunities right out our back door at this cabin. We love snowmobiling, golfing and 4 wheeling with our friends. During my off time, you will sometimes find me sculpting the snow, sewing, doing woodpile art and surprising my grand-kids and friends with homemade marshmallows to use on the next new s'more concoction
Why they chose this property
Private property in the middle of national forest is hard to find so when this bare piece went up for sale we knew we needed to built our little get away. We are keep improving it year after year.
What makes this property unique
The peaceful feeling of an off-grid week, will leave you relaxed and refreshed. Close to nature and the ones around you!
