House Or Rental
Personally, we think this is the best way to experience the beauty of Idaho. The cool night air, the starry sky, the smell of a campfire, the taste of fresh s'mores, the sound of the creek--what's not to love?! This option is also free. The campsites are very close to the main barn which has several bathrooms and showers for campers. Let one of us know if you would like to borrow camping gear as we may be able to outfit a few of you!

Travel Note
There are two ways to get to Lazy R Ranch. We recommend taking Sweet Ola Hwy (#2). 1. The most direct way is to take Hwy 55 north from Boise through Horseshoe Bend and turn left at the Banks - Lowman Road junction (aka the "put-in" for the Main). This is probably the way your GPS will default to. This will take you up a very steep, winding mountain road with tight corners. This is also a VERY busy junction in the summer months because of all the rafters and kayakers. We do not recommend driving this route in the dark if you are not used to driving in the mountains. 2. Take Hwy 55 north from Boise and turn left at the Hwy 55 & Hwy 52 junction in Horseshoe Bend and take the route through Sweet & Ola. Your map should reroute once you make the turn onto Hwy 52. This will add a few miles and about 20 minutes or so but will have way less traffic and is more ideal for pulling campers. This is the route we recommend. Make sure you load the directions before your head up the mountain as you will lose service shortly after leaving Horseshoe Bend.
