Live Your Best Idaho Pioneer Life! Cozy River Cabin Rentals

If the cold, southern Idaho weather has you feeling cooped up and you're tired of lying around on your phone, consider a Gem State destination that feels like a trip back in time to the pioneer days where beautiful views, crackling fires, and crisp, mountain air was enough to satisfy the soul.

The average American spends more than five hours on their phone a day, according to data shared by Harmony Healthcare. Increased time on these devices equals a sedentary lifestyle, which really begins to have a negative impact on the body the older we get.

Has it been a while since you disconnected from social media and shut down communications with friends and co-workers for more than 48 hours? If you're like me, it has been. Just 20 miles northeast of Sun Valley is a ranch along a river that offers cabins with a view that rivals any in the Gem State.
