About this property
RIVER MAGIC! Riverfront Private Retreat—Fish and Kayak from the Backyard!
Retreat to this Salmon Riverfront 5,000s/f architect designed pristine log home with soaring ceilings, river views from every room, and total privacy. Fish, swim, and kayak right off the backyard. Or enjoy the sound of the river from multiple patios, deck, and inside the house. Within 30 minutes of EVERYTHING: 20 STUNNING riverside miles from Stanley, 27 miles to Redfish Lake Lodge, 7 miles to the Sunbeam Cafe, 8 miles to Sunbeam Hotsprings, and close to hiking and biking trails throughout the area. Play on the Salmon, in the Sawtooths, White Clouds and Frank Church, and then come home to a world-class estate nestled next to the river.

About the host
Hosted by Thuy & Michael
We’ve been playing in the Sawtooths for 37 years and dreaming of getting a place on the Salmon River, far enough from Stanley to be near our beloved hotsprings, but close enough to pop in for dinner or go for a hike in the Sawtooths, or boat on one of the lakes. When we saw River Magic, and the quality and care with which the seller and the architect designed and built it, we knew we had found a jewel on the Salmon River. We love being there—sitting on the back deck watching and listening to the river, fishing on the river, playing frisbee or just chilling in the pasture next to the river, putting in below Sunbeam Dam and taking out at our place, or kayaking from River Magic to the Squaw Creek take-out,…relaxing in the elegant log lodge great room with a soaring over 30 foot ceiling—and know that you will too!—Michael and Thuy
