"With a long 4-day weekend on the calendar, we looked for a place we hadn't been to that wasn't too far. This was it! Elk Bend is a small community between Challis and Salmon. The town doesn't have a lot of ammenities, so come prepared with what you need or plan a commute to the Saveway in Salmon. The only restaurant in town--the Dusty Mule--had great burgers and the half plate of Nachos was enough for 3-4 (We took half home). The home is exceptionally clean with hardwood floors throughout. It is very dog friendly (but the one side fence is not there so don't plan to leave your friend in the yard unescorted). We were very comfortable and felt at home for the entire stay. One day was a trip to see Salmon, another a jeep trail and hike "Into the Salmon Forest" and the third day was a trip up to the Montana line and off roading and hiking on the Gibbons Pass Trail. It was a relaxing weekend! We only used the one bedroom with the king bed but both bathrooms were very nice for each of us to settle in with our stuff. The kitchen is well stocked, and when the coffeemaker decided to not work the first morning, the hosts had a replacement there within a couple hours. The kitchen had an air fryer, but nothing to cook rice in other than a stovetop pot. The back porch overlooks the Salmon River and there is a fire pit with four chairs that can be pulled off the porch to surround the pit for a relaxing evening enjoying the view. River has steelhead ready to catch for dinner."
