We hosted our family and friends for a long wedding weekend, including a ceremony and reception in the backyard. It could not have been more perfect - all weekend it was so nice to have so many little spots for small groups to break off and hang out, whether they wanted to sit in the shade and chat, play lawn games, nap in a swing, or swim. The willows and the river were just stunningly gorgeous and the house was exactly as expected per the photos - neat, clean, and very comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for hosting such a massive group (32 overnight guests and up to 52 daily). Laurin was so wonderful throughout the planning process, promptly answering my questions and going above and beyond to research solutions for us. Everyone kept saying it was the perfect spot. We highly recommend the Red Cub Lodge and already can’t wait to plan a trip back!!!

We had a family reunion for my husband's 70 birthday and all of our children and grandchildren came - 30 in all! It was the perfect setting for us! So relaxing! Everyone loved the swimming pool & hot tubs and spent a great deal of time there. There were even plenty of life jackets and water floatees. Both of the glamping tents were used and appreciated. There were plenty of gathering spaces both in the house and in the picturesque area between the hillside and the Cub River. A very friendly robin often came visiting and my husband was thrilled to see a lazuli bunting with it's brilliant blue head. There is a fridge/freezer downstairs in addition to the one in the kitchen which was helpful. We had everything we needed for our meals. Preston is about a 20 minute drive from the lodge if you need anything. On our last night we had a campfire & roasted marshmallows at one of the two firepit areas. That's when I noticed the pretty solar lights in the trees, around the glamping tents and pool. Magical! The huge TV in the living room is great but if you want to watch a movie it's wise to bring a dvd. Streaming will be difficult. Two rooms upstairs were a little warm because there was either no AC unit or it kept flipping the circuit but it was a small inconvenience. It would get down in the 50's at night which cooled things off nicely. Our daughter just posted on our family Messenger board... "My only complaint about the reunion is that it wasn't long enough." :)

This property is a hidden jem! Right off the main canyon road, but feels like your own little oasis! So much to do on the grounds with the swings, hammocks, corn hole, horse shoe, pool, hot tub, and just relaxing listening to the river! River not for playing in- is too fast moving and rocky for that. But it sure is beautiful!! The on site host Lauren was so nice!! He was there when you need him, but we did not feel like he was intruding or anything of the sort. We didn't really see him the whole time! It was actually nice how much he helped to get us settled and answer our questions when we got there. He even took a few of us in his car up the canyon to show us the best places to hike and ride our 4 wheelers. The 'A' tour! ;) You'll love your stay and all the space inside. A couple notes: the floor in the basement is a coated cement with a few rugs. Unexpected for us, but did not phase us or our kids one bit! (And it's easier clean up if you have any spills!) Tons of towels for the bathrooms and even more for the pool! We Highly recommend!!!

We just had a great family reunion at Red Cub. The accommodations were great but the owners willingness to ensure all our needs were met were impressive. We even got a little tour of the area. What an awesome experience. Truly fun for the whole family. Thank you

This was a great location and lodge with beautiful grounds, completely stocked house and lots of activities for all 33 of us....pool, hot tubs, glamping tents, volleyball, horseshoe, corn hole game, and more. Scott and Lauren were great hosts, helpful and accommodating. Recommend this property to any and all.

My family, fourteen of us including my wife, daughters, son-in-laws and grandchildren, had a wonderful nine days at this delightful home on the Cub River. We entertained ourselves primarily outside at the pool/hot tubs, playing corn hole, volleyball, tether ball, fishing, and on the various swings. In the evenings we enjoyed a few outside fires, but mostly spent our time lounging the living area or playing games at the dining room table. When it was time to drift off to sleep we slipped away to the various comfortable bedrooms or out to the tents on the river for a restful sleep. The river rushing by the two tents is incredibly serene. Lauren was around caring for the property and answered any questions we had. He was completely available, but utterly unobtrusive. A most gracious and kind host. This is a quiet serene place in a beautiful little valley. Shopping is about 20-30 minutes away and we made a few trips to town to pick up some items and have a soft cone ice cream. All and all we had a really grand time. I would highly recommend the place for a family gathering or a get together with a few small families and friends. Just remember to snag one of the glamping tents on the river for a peaceful night’s sleep.

The place was great for our group of 22. This is the amount that can comfortably stay in the top two floors. The basement is usable but really only for a large group of children. No worries for our group. The outside is great. The pool is spring fed (cool but not cold) for every guest and the river running through the property is great for flyfishing. The teens loved the enormous tree swings. The grass is usable for spikeball, can jam or whatever else.

We had our family reunion at this amazing property. It provided all that was needed for both fun and relaxation. The house was very very comfortable for our group of 21, adults and children. The outside space was perfect for both playing and lounging. The property is maintained very nicely, and we loved having the pool with fresh spring water and no chemicals! We highly recommend this property.

It is a beautiful location and wonderful property. Not too far from the local library. Pool and hot tubs are awesome. Owners are very proactive and thoughtful, yet not invasive. We had 50 persons total. Entire basement has one bathroom. That is the air hockey room, the large bunk room and the downstairs bedroom. It works when we had all the older kids sleep in the bunkroom and go to use the bathrooms with their parents mostly.

Red Cub Lodge was amazing! We had 33 people and had plenty of room. The property was amazing! The pool was amazing. Lauren was kind and helpful. Only draw back was a couple of bedrooms did not have air conditioning. And lots of stairs! We have a handicap person in our family a little hard for him. Otherwise we loved the place a great place to get away from it all.

We could not have asked for a better location for our reunion. We all grew up camping and hiking in Cub River, who knew there was such an amazing property up there. We stayed a full 7 days and the kids could have stayed in that pool all summer. The kitchen was as well stocked as any rental I've been to and the 4 (kind of 5) mastersuits were wonderful. The only con for our group were all of the stairs. Mom and Dad had a hard time with the sunken living room, Mom uses a walker most of the time and we kept having to lift it up and down those two steps just to get from the bedroom/bath to the kitchen, doable but not ideal. If anyone is wheelchair bound you could not stay here. All in all, one of my top 5 rentals ever! Great Host!!

Our family of 30 consisting of adults and children all voted to stay here again. The pool was pristine, the property well-maintained, and the sleeping arrangements ideal for our group. One of the owners lives on the property and was very responsive to our needs. Highly recommended.

Lots to do and grass and shade. Would like to reserve next year but it looks like weekends are gone!

Our family of 40+ stayed for 3 nights and had a lot of fun. The pool and hot tubs are the best, along with the big beautiful functional backyard and activities there. The lodge is older and does not have A/C and got very hot in the afternoons. The owner’s father lives above the garage and is very kind and helpful. The owner didn’t always respond to messages we sent. There were a lot of newly remodeled bedrooms and bathrooms and 2 fun tents near the river with king size beds in them which were nice and unique. We also found a bat in the house the last night!

We held our family reunion at the Red Cub Lodge. We had nearly 40 people at the party. The biggest hit with the family was the pool. The kids especially loved it. The nightly campfire was so fun too. The only difficulty was that the internet is spotty and TV reception was difficult except in one room. But then, we didn't come there to watch TV. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of beds. I loved the sound of the running Cub River.

Great communication with Scott, and beautiful location! The last guests before us didn’t clean the kitchen dishes very well, but otherwise not a lot of complaints!

We chose this house for our wedding weekend with all of our friends and family. We had approximately 30 guests and never felt like the house was too crowded or over filled with people. Everyone had a great time. The owner and his father, Scott and Laurin, were wonderful and so helpful in our planning process for the wedding and the genrtal overall weekend. We were even able to arrange a time to meet Laurin and see the house a few months prior to the even to prepare all of our decorations and supplies. This place is perfect for a retreat, family gathering, and wedding!

We had our wedding here and could not have asked for a more beautiful place to have it. Everything was great! Thank you for having us!

We had the BEST time at Red Cub Lodge! The grounds were beautiful and there was SO much to do. We loved the shade from all the willow trees. Obviously the pool was where the kids spent most of the time. The only heads up that we had for future visitors was that some of the room descriptions were a little generous around how private and secluded certain areas were. Outside of the 2 master bedrooms everything is very close to each other. We didn’t mind this at all. However if you are looking for a very quiet corner for perhaps a newborn crying baby; you would be able to hear it through the neighboring rooms. The on site landlord was a big plus and he was willing to help us with everything. The kids who all tried, caught fish. Temperatures were not a problem with the new A/C units. We will be coming back!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Red Cub Lodge. The property was beautiful with lots of fun outdoor activities including an awesome pool, not to mention the gorgeous Cub River! We had a very large group and there were comfortable beds for all. Just note the house has lots of stairs. Not a problem for our group but might be for some. The manager was very kind and helpful. Would highly recommend!

We traveled here with 5 families from Michigan and had a very enjoyable time. We couldn't have asked for a better setting for 20 kids. The swings, pool, hot tub yard games and river kept everyone busy when we weren't gone fishing or sightseeing. The portneuf river tube rides was a blast along with the Baker Ranch wagon ride and picnic. The owner was always helpful when needed as well. We would highly recommend this for anyone coming with a large group needing multiple bedrooms and lots of kids.

Our family reunion was a great success at Red Cub Lodge. There were plenty of activities to keep everyone active and involved. The pool and hot tub especially saw a lot of use! The property was clean and inviting. We will be back. Thank you. SMS

Red Cub Lodge was a great place for our family to get together. With our 4-generation family, age-range 4-81, making everyone happy is a challenge. That challenge was met beautifully by this property. All were happy and engaged in activities, especially the great pool! Thanks also to Laurin for his help.

We had our family reunion at this lodge. There were 35 of us. We all had beds and plenty to do on the property to keep us happy. The host was especially fun and a delight to give us the tour of the area. Such a wonderful, humerus man. We all would love to come again soon.
