Bonners Ferry is Idaho’s most friendly town. Located in the geographic center of Kootenai River Valley, it was established in the 1860s and subsequently became an important timber hub - a role that Bonners Ferry proudly carries on today.
With three mountain ranges surrounding the town, Bonners Ferry has also garnered the attention of outdoor recreation enthusiasts. Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge alone is quite the destination, with 2,774 ac (1,122 ha) of mountain wilderness to explore. Additionally, a section of the 280-mi (451 km) International Selkirk Loop also passes through Bonners Ferry and is frequented by touring bicyclists. While here, you can even have a fun evening at Bonner’s Books. Hikers will also love Myrtle Falls Trail.
By now, you know that no trip is complete without a place to stay. Continue reading below for the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

1. The Outhouse (from USD 81)
The Outhouse is a cute little barn that’s been converted into cozy digs for solo travelers, couples, or small groups. Although it’s only steps away from the main house, where the host lives, you’ll have all the privacy you need.
While inside, open the window to let the breeze in. And during colder weather, just plug in the wall heater to warm up the space. The cabin does not have a full kitchen, but you’ll still have your own coffee maker, refrigerator, and microwave. Besides that, a parking spot’s been reserved for one car as well.

5. Rustic cabin in Sandpoint (from USD 151)
If it’s an unplugged vacation in the middle of nowhere that you’re after, why not hide away in this rustic cabin in Sandpoint? It’s only 32 mi (52 km) south of Bonners Ferry and just as beautiful. Best of all, this isn’t your usual log cabin.
First of all, it’s 120 years old and situated on a quiet horse ranch. Second, staying here is a luxurious experience. In the middle of the space is a plush queen bed that’s dressed with quality sheets and linens. If you want to get cozier, light up the fireplace and let the sounds of crackling fire be your music.

7. Relaxing mountain cabin (from USD 69)
This cabin located just 9 mi (14 km) east of Bonners Ferry perfectly strikes the balance between remoteness and proximity to town amenities. Its main highlight, however, are its vistas. With the cabin facing eastward, you’ll have front-row seats to breathtaking sunrises over Cabinet Mountains. Brew a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy it out in the front porch for a peaceful morning.
Another thing that makes this cabin unique is its provenance. Although relatively new, this was constructed from the ground up by the host and their family. Everything you’ll see in this Airbnb rental is made by them, adding a personal and thoughtful touch to your stay.
