Birthday Getaway
My boyfriend and our two small dogs enjoyed everything about our Fall weekend stay. It was the perfect 41st birthday celebration getaway. The cabin was incredibly welcoming for both us and the pups (complete with dog bowls, spare leashes, and even puppy treats). We cooked breakfasts and dinner in the well-stocked kitchen and enjoyed our meals in the window surrounded nook. We made coffee and visited the hot springs RIGHT down the road early one morning before breakfast. We sat on the deck at sunset with a fire crackling in the chiminea then moved inside to the wood burning stove and played a few round of darts before watching a movie. The bed was incredibly comfy (tho we baked the first night not realizing the heater UNDER the bed was on lol) and the rain shower head in the bathroom is such a lovely touch. We loved the fact that it felt so private yet not completely remote. I could go on and on... It honestly could not have been more perfect.

Best little cabin
Loved every minute of our stay. So many little touches added to the enjoyment. You feel like they have thought of everything from having the fireplaces ready to just light a match to fresh coffee beans ready to grind. Also, they had dog bowls, dog bed, and snacks that confirmed to us that our dog was very welcome there. Beautiful time of year to visit....great fall colors :) Thank you!

We had a wonderful time! The property was fun to explore. The cabin was a perfect size and we loved using the wood stove to warm up. They had a very well stocked kitchen. Usually there’s always something missing, like a can opener, but they had everything that you would need. You won’t regret renting this home.

Great location just 15 minutes out of Ketchum. House had all the comforts and beds very comfortable. Books, darts, games, pet bowls, outdoor seating and several firepits. Very relaxing which is exactly what we were looking for. Never found the land line phone but wifi worked great.

Funky Little Cabin
Cute funky little cabin great for two people or a family of four (kids and adults). It was hard to tell from the listing and the pictures that all of the beds are together in the same room - which was a little weird for the four adults we had staying there together(we thought the twin beds were in a separate office or alcove, they were not). The bedroom door is glass and has no curtains for privacy. Not all windows in the bedroom have curtains. You are out in the woods, but you do have neighbors. Overall, the place is cute and cozy. The kitchen is well stocked with all of the cooking tools you need. The outdoor area is really cute. Location is a bit off the beaten path, but very easy to access. While the house seemed pretty clean, there were quite a few dead flies throughout. I would consider staying there again with just my immediate family. It was nice that it is dog friendly.

Wonderful weekend get away
We had such a great stay! The location is gorgeous. Perfect for those seeking some outdoor therapy! We enjoyed exploring the forest behind the cabin. And the stars at night were incredible! Just a short drive in to town where we enjoyed some good food. The fishing near by was also great! Our kids keep telling us they miss the cabin already! We hope to return soon. The hosts were great at communicating and provide everything you need for a great stay.

Peaceful Get Away
Amazing cabin tucked away in a beautiful canyon. Big trees surround the cabin so it has amazing shade, and keeps the cabin so cool. Its in a peaceful neighborhood and you can have the windows open and just hear the river running and the cool mountain air coming in. There are lots of hikes, fishing, places to eat, and beautiful scenery to explore. This is an amazing place to stay and you are close to a lot of different places. They have fun activities to do at the cabin as well they had 2 bikes and we enjoyed going on rides!

Idyllic
Simply a perfect mountain retreat. Twenty minute drive out of Ketchum and you really get away from it all. The cabin is amazing and extremely well laid out. The beds are very comfortable—I slept incredibly well!! I especially enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, which is important when you’re up in in the mountains. The cabin was warm and cozy and that’s even before you light the wood stove. Truly a great great place and I’d happily stay again.

Perfect Winter Getaway
My husband, two dogs and I came to Ketchum for a 5 day (4 night) weekend to cross country ski. This cabin was the perfect base camp. It is quiet and peaceful, the surroundings are beautiful and the cabin was the perfect size for us. It has a rustic feel but has all the amenities and luxuries (hot shower, kitchen to cook dinner and a wonderfully comfortable bed) that you could want. I love that this is dog friendly - being able to bring our dogs enhanced our experience immensely. One of our favorite parts was making a fire every night and listening to the crackle as we unwound on the couch. Highly recommend this place and hope to come again!

Thanksgiving Getaway
Great place and location. Very hospitable hosts. Loved that we could take our dogs. But nowhere did I see information online that indicated we could not leave our dogs unattended for an hour or two. I did see it in the rule book provided by our host when we got to the cabin. If we had been instructed on this prior to going we probably would have looked for a different place. Perhaps in future “dog friendly” could include a variation on this policy. Like “kenneled pups” may be left unattended in cabin for an hour or two?” Many thanks for sharing your property with us.

The perfect mountain cabin!
I feel so lucky to have discovered the Emerald Gem! My husband and I, along with our dog, stayed four wonderful days and we only have positive things to say about this cabin and its location. We loved being surrounded by gorgeous trees while enjoying the calming sounds of the nearby creek. The cabin was super clean, 100% dog-friendly, comfortable, and very well-appointed. We lacked for nothing! And we appreciated the great communication from the hosts. Needless to say, we can't wait to visit again! K.Lee & David Theel

spent 9 delightful nights in a rustic cabin. very comfortable, cozy and spacious for 2 people. was not lacking for anything. we would either bike or hike for several hours (not from there) and come back and hang out and relax. never went out for a meal as didn't feel like driving 18-20 minutes back to town. would definitely stay again. also, the owner's were quick to respond to any questions if I had any.
