Payette Flats - Cabin Charm, Riverfront Calm
Wake up to the sound of the river, the scent of pine, and the quiet rhythm of life in the mountains. The Payette Flats sit right along the banks of the South Fork of the Payette River, offering a front-row seat to one of the most breathtaking views on the property. These river-facing lodge-style suites are a favorite among guests who crave both serenity and convenience.
With a blend of double queen and single queen suites—some with their own cozy sitting rooms—each unit is thoughtfully designed with natural textures, lodge-inspired décor, and all the comforts of home. You’ll find full private bathrooms, air conditioning for warm summer days, and mountain heaters that make cool nights feel like a hug.
Perfect for couples, solo travelers, or families (thanks to several adjoining rooms), the Flats invite you to slow down and sink into the magic of the forest. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch at sunrise or stargazing after dinner, this is mountain lodging at its most peaceful.

Camping off the Property
Southfork Lodge can also outfit you with all the bear necessities (pun absolutely intended) to take your stay deeper into the forest. Through our Adventure Services, we offer fully equipped camping kits for rent—perfect for hikers who want to embrace the wilderness without hauling all the gear from home.
Each kit is designed for two, keeping the load balanced and the experience shared. You’ll receive two backpacks—one packed with camping essentials like your tent or hammock tent, sleeping pads, and gear; the other for your personal items, food, and sleeping bags. We even include bear spray, because safety is always in season. And for those who want to dine trailside, you can order a freshly prepared boxed meal straight from our kitchen.
Check out our Adventure Services to learn more and start planning your overnight in the wild.

Staying at SouthFork
At Southfork Lodge, we believe where you stay should be just as memorable as the adventure itself. Tucked deep in the heart of the Boise National Forest, our accommodations offer a range of experiences for every kind of guest—from cozy comfort to rustic immersion.
Choose from our ridge-top one- and two-bedroom cabins, where forest views meet lodge-style charm. Stay steps from the water in our Payette Flats, a row of modern, riverside rooms that let the sound of the river lull you to sleep. For those seeking a touch of wilderness with a hint of luxury, our wall tent glamping offers the best of both worlds. And for the purists, we offer primitive meadow camping under a sky full of stars.
