The Cub River Lodge & RV Park is actually built on the historic "watercress springs" area, next door to the famous, mystic Deer Cliff Mountain. The views are breath-taking and the nights very peaceful as you sit around a campfire, looking at the spectacular starlit sky, while listening to the amazing sounds of nature and the nearby Cub River bubbling over the rocks.

It has a large kitchen/prep area with 3 separate stoves/ovens, a stainless steel island, 2 full size refrigerators and all the necessary cooking& eating utensils. The main focal point of this Lodge is the large “conference center” with hardwood floors,(look like a dance floor, with ability to seat over 150), complete with surround sound and audio/visual capabilities. The adjoining theatre room has a big-screen TV, Clavinova piano, foosball table, with plenty of comfortable chairs and couches. The front entry of the Lodge sports another very large sitting area where guests can gather to converse and relax from the laughter& chatter in other rooms. A small dining room attached to the kitchen will accommodate up to 30 guests, with overflow into the conference center.
Open year-round, one can come relax, renting a room or the whole lodge.

We had a wonderful experience at the Cub River Lodge. We were there to 4-Wheel and
had 350 iles of trail to access. The Lodge was comfortable, easy to get to, clean, and the owner was very amenable to our needs. The kitchen/cooking facilities were great and would accommodate quite a few people at one time. We did not use the pool, but it was clean and filled with mountain water. The Hot tub was also clean and convenient to use. We loved the setting and the Lodge itself and would come back if we go back to Idaho to vacation.
Such a wonder place to stay! We spent 4 days up this beautiful canyon. It was our jumping off point to see the historical locations in northern Utah & Southern Idaho. The host was excellent and kept the grounds beautifully maintained. No cell service but a provided wifi connection served well enough to get emails, phone service and social media if you just have to have it.
The food is quite good and the staff that served us was kind and forthcoming with napkins, and water refills. The Oni n rings were breaded rather odd...not necessarily bad but certainly different from normal onion ring expectations. The scones were deliciously chewy and only lightly browned so it was almost doughy but right on the edge of doneness that I appreciate the balanced effort in.
The scenery outside is breathtaking and the stream nearby offers pleasant white noise.
The only gripe was the seating in direct sunlight. We were assured it would only be ten minutes before the sun would disappear. We used the sun to shade finger technique (look towards the sun and put the base of your hand against the item that will offer you shade such as a roof. Each finger between the shade source and the sun is 15-ish minutes) and it was more like half an hour until we were no longer sweaty and had become reasonably comfortable. If you go past 5 and you are seated near the rock wall along the river be sure to insist on a shade source or be prepared to bake in the sun (it was the 4th of July weekend when we went).
Everything else was a rustic reprieve with well groomed cooking techniques that I appreciate and value. Thanks for reading.
Beautiful area, but horrible camp ground.
Me and my family left super early because it wasn’t what it used to be. We couldn’t check out the creek or pool and apparently it’s privately owned now and the guy was VERY rude about it when we went to toward the creek.
The staff was hardly available and there wasn’t absolutely nothing we could do in 90 degree weather since we couldn’t go to the pool, the restrooms weren’t accessible except a super disgusting port a potty..
I wouldn’t recommend coming here.
Overall, it was a great stay. We happened to hit a hot weather week, but even so, we weren't miserable. From reading reviews, we expected the cleaning to be a pain. If you want a cleaning-free vacation, this isn't the place for you. Our group was really good about cleaning up after themselves, though, so the checkout went smoothly. We used as little of their things as possible....took our own grills, paper plates, sheets, pillows, etc. to lesson the cleaning work . The wifi was better some days than others. I was able to teach my online classes decent enough, though. Things we didnt expect: random people walking in the front door daily...most asking if that was the office or the restaurant; the office phone rings in the house, and random people hanging around on the front porch using the wifi. Nothing was bothersome necessarily, just things we haven't experienced before. So if you are a big group and can clean up after yourself, this is a great choice....just dont walk around nekky upstairs if you have problems showing off your stuff to strangers!
