The Georges have built a really beautiful home in the Idaho mountains. It is definitely a trek to get to it, but when you do, there are so many great things to say about it! ---
1) The house is built with great and sound craftsmanship. Out son, who is a master craftsman, admired the excellent attention to details. We simply found the Red River Lodge exceptional. Even had WiFi! One of the best VRBOs that we have stayed at.
2) The pine forests, the mountain range, the wildlife, the streams, and the great sky above are amazing and so relaxing.
3) Great attractions are easy to get to -- the Red River Hot Springs is a 30-minute drive away, and well kept by a family. Definitely a place to go! Red river is a short walk away and great for chilling on a hot suunny day.
4) Elk City can be relied on for extra food, drinks and whatever you need. We were pleasantly surprised.
And since perfection is not ever really possible, here's some "flies in the ointment" --
5) Red River Lodge is remote, the roads cannot be taken quickly, but then, being secluded must be something one is comfortable with (we definitely were!)
6) Being remote, make sure you bring the food and supplies you need. Particular items may be impossible to find locally.
7) In Heaven, I'm sure there won't be any biting insects. But deer flies, wasps, and mosquitos are around the Lodge and streams, so come prepared to swat them!
