Idaho Lodging Accommodations At Wapiti Meadow Ranch. We are proud to have been accepted as one of the very few Orvis Endorsed Fly-Fishing Lodges. Orvis bases their endorsement on the high quality of sportfishing available, as well as on the high quality of amenities offered in lodging and dining. Wapiti Meadow's log and stone lodge is the heart of our operation. First-time visitors are usually amazed to find such a comfortable blend of homespun western charm and gracious Virginia antiques. From curios and historic treasures to fine china and crystal goblets, the richness of mountain country folklore reaches out to welcome you. Spanning the entire length of the lodge is our broad front porch, a favorite gathering spot before and after dinner. The old fashioned swing is a wonderful place to curl up with a good book on a lazy afternoon. The subtle taste of elegance and style makes this a natural setting for fine relaxation and pleasant conversation. The Great Room provides the perfect backdrop for an after dinner cup of exotic-blend coffee. Several comfortable couches and easy chairs focus on a mammoth stone fireplace. The warm glow of flames sets just the right mood while you listen to the fish tales of yesterday and today. This is the place to find an intriguing book from our substantial library or pick a board game from the Game Cupboard. There are few pleasures in life finer than the deep relaxation to be found in the warm, whirlpool waters of our Hot Tub. Indulge yourself and soak your cares away while watching horses and elk graze in our grassy meadow. Our hot tub has hosted many memorable conversations and there's simply no better place to view a mountain sunset. Tanning aficionados will find our redwood sunning deck and a number of more private locations perfect for absorbing the warmth and golden color from our bright summer sun. Private Guest Cabins. You get much more than just a bedroom at Wapiti Meadow. Enjoy your own stunning panoramic view of the timbered mountains flanking this magnificent valley. When you first open your door, you'll be greeted with fresh flowers, snacking goodies, a refrigerator filled with soft drinks, your own coffee maker, and a fruit basket brimming with seasonal selections. All our cabins are light and airy, each with an ambiance all its own. Carpeted and comfortably furnished, they boast of both electric baseboard heat and a functional wood stove resting on a stone hearth. You will find your cabin scrupulously clean and the decor warm and inviting. With separate bedroom(s), a modern bath, large living room, fully equipped kitchenette, and daily maid service, you'll find every comfort and convenience to make your stay a pleasure. Living rooms are furnished for relaxing (both mind and body) with a sofa, easy chairs, and convenient tables. A game or dining table sits just in front of the picture window in each cabin. Indulge yourself with a quiet afternoon nap or host a gathering of new friends. Although there is no real need for the kitchenette facilities, we've found guests appreciate a refrigerator for midnight snacks. We'll keep your cabin stocked with your choice of complimentary fruit, snacks, and soft beverages. Most guests enjoy the convenience of their own coffee maker and we also have fresh baked goods in your cabin for a before-breakfast snack with your coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.

Wapiti Meadow Bed Board. Sport fishermen, wilderness enthusiasts, and horseback riders have long enjoyed the hospitality, delicious 'hearty gourmet' cuisine, comfortable cabins, antique-filled lodge and spectacular mountain setting of Wapiti Meadow. Now visitors who wish to simply relax in this gracious 'wilderness' setting, or perhaps hike, mountain bike, fish, and explore on their own, have an opportunity to enjoy the same luscious meals and fine lodging at a 'Bed and Board' rate. Guests who take advantage will be able to enjoy the beautiful Idaho landscape surrounding the lodge and the indigenous wildlife and wildflowers. June offers daily viewings of elk grazing in our emerald-green meadow beside our horses and mules. It is also the time of year when mating geese and migratory waterfowl are arguing over nesting spots along full-flowing Johnson Creek. Wildflowers abound in the woodlands and meadows and sightings of Rocky Mountain Bluebirds, hummingbirds and the Western Tanagers are frequent. Fishing in our stocked trout ponds and in some of our lower-elevation lakes is at its best. July and into August brings wildflowers successively higher along our trails leading to alpine meadows and ridges. Swimming and tubing in Johnson Creek provides excitement, as the high water levels of Spring runoff subside. This is the season for some of the finest fly fishing for West Coast Cutthroat, Rainbow Trout and Bull Trout (Dolly Varden) in Johnson Creek and close-by East Fork and South Fork of the Salmon River. As soon as Spring runoff subsides, gold panning becomes a favorite activity on the East Fork stream, below ancient mining sites. By mid-July, the incredibly hearty but rare and endangered Chinook Salmon begin to make their appearance in the deeper holes of Johnson Creek, one of the last best spawning streams in the Northwest. Whitewater Rafting is available nearby on several branches of the Payette River, and other water sports are destinations in the nearby resort town of McCall. Bird watching changes from songbirds to raptors, with a myriad variety of hawks, eagles and osprey in the skies above the valley. August brings the pungent aroma of ripening huckleberries to the valley, and in a good year, buckets of these delicious berries can be picked for the Wapiti kitchen which specializes in Huckleberry Pies and Cheesecakes for guest desserts. By late August and Early September, the Salmon become active, spawning in the gravels of the riverbed, a unique sight most areas can only remember with nostalgia. In September, visitors are in awe of the colors: the Aspen and Tamarack begin to turn amber and yellow, the hillside brush becomes red and rust, and the meadows turn to gold. Pine cone collecting, listening to the bull elk's spine-tingling bugle, hearing the lonely call of a distant wolf or coyote on the hunt provide adventure. In October, the colors are somewhat dimmer, but still vibrant and sometimes a dusting of snow on the mountain summits adds definition to the long valley views from the cabin and lodge porches and the welcome waters of the hot tub. Everburning, four foot long logs in the lodge's baronial fireplace make a cozy backdrop for an afternoon of reading from the ranch's vast library or playing board games or cards with fellow visitors. Year-round, the dining is a highlight of every day. Hearty breakfasts, such as Eggs Benedict, Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, Stuffed French Toast with homemade syrups begin each day. A variety of lunches, including sandwiches, salads, homemade cookies and brownies are packed for guests who wish to wander away from the main lodge and cabins, or can be enjoyed on the lodge porch or the picnic tables in the garden. Dinners, which begin with a social hour featuring a variety of hors d'oeuvres, wine and microbrews, continue with entrees such as prime rib, pesto stuffed salmon with basil-creamed scallops, Cornish game hens, and a 'game night' feast featuring venison tenderloin, Muscovy duck breast and rack of lamb. Each dinner has multiple side dishes, a salad and Desserts such as Lemon (or Huckleberry, in season) Cheesecake, Raspberry Torte, Chocolate Mousse, Lemon Mousse with a Raspberry Puree, and fresh Strawberry Pie. Coffee and good conversation round out every meal. With only four cabins and three luxury suites there are just enough visitors to provide a 'dinner party' atmosphere in the dining room, which is resplendent with fine china, silver and crystal set on two antique tables, seating no more than seventeen. Wapiti Meadow is just far enough 'off the beaten path' to offer a wilderness atmosphere, but close enough to the main 'byway' in Idaho (Route 55) to be easily accessible with an hour's drive over good, paved mountain 'highway' and then only 16 ½ miles of gravel road. During June, after mid-September and October any length of stay is welcomed at the rate of $175 per person for cabins and $225 per person for suites. In July, August, and until mid-September, there is a 3 day/night minimum visit and the rate is $225 per person for cabins and $275 per person for suites. These lodging rates include private cabin or suite accommodations and three full meals each day, with mid-afternoon light 'tea'. Self-guided activities available at the ranch or nearby: Ghost Town exploring. Water Sports on Payette Lake, McCall
