Bluebird Cabin

TammyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our stay at Bluebird Cabin felt too short! We had a wonderful time! We enjoyed Jim's photography, hiking recommendations, oatmeal cookies and sparkling wine. The location was gorgeous and convenient to town, yet private. The kitchen was well appointed and we enjoyed eating our meals on the screened porch. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

The house was great! Very clean and well kept. The kitchen has everything you need to cook at the house and there’s a traeger outside. Hot tub was clean and stayed at a good temperature. Peaceful location, not too difficult to get out to.

MichaelRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Joseph's place, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment we booked, Joseph was incredibly attentive and maintained great communication throughout our trip. He made sure we had all the information we needed, which made our arrival and stay seamless. The home was exactly as described in the listing—spacious, clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was the perfect setting for our group, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time together. Overall, we had a fantastic trip, and Joseph's hospitality made it even more special. I highly recommend his place to anyone looking for a cozy getaway. We can't wait to return! Thank you, Joseph!

Your guide to Stanley

Welcome to Stanley

There isn’t a lot to keep you busy in Stanley itself — its speck of a downtown spans only a few sparse blocks of restaurants and shops, and the town is home to fewer than 100 year-round residents. It's the wilderness all around that draws adventurers here. Set in the Sawtooth Valley, where craggy peaks define the skyline, Stanley has an outsized reputation for outdoor recreation, with easy access to the sprawling Sawtooth National Forest. Alpine lakes for paddling, mountains to climb, trails for biking and hiking, and legendary stretches of whitewater on the Salmon River all draw free spirits to central Idaho’s backcountry. In the height of summer, Stanley hosts street dances and small festivals featuring country and Americana musicians. Come winter, much of the town hunkers down for the seemingly endless supply of snow, when Stanley turns into a playground for a lucky few snowmobilers, Nordic skiers, and snowshoers.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Stanley

Late spring through summer sees this sleepy town transform into a busy basecamp for backpackers, rafting outfitters, and backcountry guides, with outdoor recreationists taking advantage of the long, warm days. Rafting season typically kicks off in May. Local festivals and open-air concerts fill the calendar through Labor Day. If you’re a hiker, fall is a great time to book one of the area’s cabin rentals, as the season ushers in cooler temperatures and fewer crowds on the trails. During winter, few travelers venture into the cold and ice, though for lovers of snowmobiles and skis, it’s worth the trek.


Top things to do in Stanley

Sawtooth Scenic Byway

Three designated scenic byways converge on the town of Stanley, giving road-trippers hours of scenic drives in each direction. At 116 miles (186 km), the Sawtooth Scenic Byway is the shortest, but it packs a lot of scenery in a route that passes from the city of Shoshone through the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and into the Sawtooth Valley. Along the way, you’ll take in views of river canyons, lakes, and the shimmering peaks of the Rocky Mountains.

Salmon River

Stanley sits on the banks of one of Idaho’s most iconic rivers for rafting. Snowmelt from the towering mountains runs into the headwaters of the Salmon River, where many local outfitters lead rafting tours. Many of the popular whitewater day trips offered in the Stanley area focus on segments of the river suitable for families and inexperienced rafters. Some stretches are also fun for kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders.

Redfish Lake

Just south of Stanley, you’ll find the largest alpine lake in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Ringed by evergreen forests and blessed with views of mountains in the distance, Redfish Lake is a scenic spot for hiking, and a number of trails start here. Summer is the high season for boating, kayaking, windsurfing, and fishing. The day-access beach also draws families, sunbathers, and picnickers. The lake freezes over in winter, when unploughed roads make the area inaccessible except to cross-country skiers, snowshoers, and people experienced in the backcountry.
