About this property

Your PRIVATE PARADISE on The Lake!Sleeps 10

Sure to be a Summer Highlight for your family!! Hitch up the boat and enjoy an unforgettable stay at our beautiful 3000 sq ft home located on the banks BLACKFOOT RESERVOIR. Your stay will include a PRIVATE DOCK to swim around or to park your motorized boat (or jet skis) and enjoy full access to a sparsely populated 28 square mile lake. A canoe, SUP, paddle boat, and a few life jackets are all included!

Two public boat ramps are located in the nearby campground to launch from. (Can not launch from house)

Property includes a large deck over water, dock, fire pit area next to lake, a gas grill, covered deck, fenced yard in back to keep youngsters safe, & (for $25/ night) 2 RV Spots with FULL HOOKUPS (water, sewer, & power).

You will enjoy Starlink WIFI, 2 gas fireplaces, 3 large screen TVs (Netflix, Amazon Prime, & Disney Plus), pillow top beds, a large bathtub and walk-in shower, 2 window seats, a fully stocked kitchen (gas range, microwave, dishwasher), washer/dryer, soft water, walk-in closet, 2 sets of french doors leading to deck, a coffee maker, instant pot, outdoor refrigerator, patio furniture, and so much more!

“Caribou Lake House" is located just 38 miles from LAVA HOT SPRINGS and 15 miles from Soda Springs. You’ll find reasonably priced grocery stores, restaurants, an outdoor drive-in movie theater & a traditional movie theater, bowling alley, shave ice, the famous Soda Springs geyser, many wonderful parks (including one with a carbonated spring!), a beautiful golf course, etc...

Truthfully once you arrive at this lake house, you will never want to leave. This stunning lake is never crowded and relatively warm for swimming and playing during the late summer months. Blackfoot Res also has some of the best fishing in Idaho! Also water recreating (jet skiing, water skiing, and water sports) are happening ALL summer long.

While you are out enjoying the lake, be sure to check out “Bird Island” and the hundreds of segregated black & white birds that call this unique, barren island their home. A 20-minute BOAT RIDE to the town of Henry for ice cream or dinner is another activity that is sure to delight the family!

The home itself is tucked into a quiet little community between Dike Lake and Blackfoot Reservoir, with stunning views of China Cap Mountain. As you explore this little community of homes and cabins, you will likely come across a moose as they are plentiful.

The original "A-Frame" was built in the 1960's but has since been remodeled with knotty alder cabinets, new countertops, as well as flooring. The addition was custom designed in 2009 and provides all of the comforts of home.

Winter time is uniquely beautiful and perfect for ice fishing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, ice skating, or just sitting around the fire playing games and drinking hot cocoa.

This is a unique and special place that your family will not soon forget!

Pleasant Stay. A bit late in the year for the water.
Very enjoyable stay. House is nice and comfortable. In late August the water levels are low and there is a fair amount of algae in the water so you can't really swim in front of the house. We were barely able to keep our boat at the docks. Also windy this time of year.

Lovely place
Our family of 5 found your rental home clean, comfortable and well equipped. Cooking and cleanup was easy as your kitchen had everything we needed. The bedroom with the kids beds was too hot even with the AC, but the sofa bed was comfortable and plenty of bedding and blankets are provided. One suggestion would be to have a smaller sauce pan in the kitchen. Thank you for your lovely home. We will definitely book again if we come to the area in the future.

Lake House
Lovely, fully equipped home on the lake. We came to unplug for a week and it was great. Stocked with all the equipment you need. The only downfall was the paddle board was missing plugs so we were unable to use that. And the lack of air conditioning for the kids room upstairs made for a couple of hot nights. But overall it was a great stay. Great communication with the owners. Easy to access and find. Comfortable beds.

My husband and I enjoy water sports and have wanted a vacation home on a lake for several years. We had been looking in the Salmon area when we accidently came upon a listing on "Blackfoot Reservoir". We live in Rexburg and have barely even heard of Blackfoot Reservoir! Turns out to be a warm, peaceful, highly underutilized lake, located in a quaint, little subdivision. This is the only housing area on the entire lake (3rd largest in Idaho, by the way). Our kids enjoy fishing, ice skating, and swimming in the lake. We also enjoy paddle boarding, jet skiing, wakeboarding, and bbqing near the lake. It's a small piece of heaven!

Why they chose this property

Many properties in this area are not located directly on the lake. This one was and it was perfect!

What makes this property unique

Having a large dock and being directly on the lake is all you need for a great family get-away.
Our high speed satellite internet allows you to work, watch your favorite shows, and stay connected.
