SouthFork Guest Services
Have a question we haven’t answered? Planning a family getaway, wedding, reunion, or large group stay? Wondering about dinner reservations, adventure rentals, or if the mountain weather plans to cooperate?
We’re here to help—but fair warning: our lodge sits in the heart of the Boise National Forest, which means the scenery is stunning, but cell service… not so much. It’s one of the reasons our guests love it here—and one of the reasons it’s best to reach us the old-fashioned way. Whether it’s an important detail, a special request, or something only a human can answer (like “What’s the best time for wildflowers?”),
just give us a call or send us an email. We can’t wait to hear from you—and help make your time at SouthFork unforgettable.
