Small town stuff
What's around the corner
With so many activities to choose from, what will you do with your time in Garden Valley?
Local Flare
Start with drinks and dinner at The Longhorn Restaurant & Bar — cold beers, good food, and the kind of crowd that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. Tante Emma's authentic German cuisine is a local favorite worth seeking out. Duck into The Merc, a cozy indoor market full of handmade goods from local vendors — the kind of place where you always leave with something you didn't know you needed. Round out the evening with a show at Starlight Mountain Theatre or a slow stroll through the boutique shops downtown. This is what just right feels like beyond the inn.
Bring a swimsuit
Come soak in the numerous hot springs in and around Garden Valley. Or grab your favorite flotation device and float down the Middlefork river on a hot summer day.
Snowmobiling
Located only 7 miles from the State Forest and the designated snowmobile parking area, the groomed trails go on for miles and miles, whether a 30 mile loop or a 100 mile run, you will enjoy all the mountains have to offer in the winter.
UTV/ATV Riding
Located only 7 miles from the State Forest you can park at the designated parking area and explore the roads and trails from the Payette river to mountain tops.
River Rafting
Plan a river adventure from mild to wild! Whether a more family friendly float like Swirly Canyon or for the more adventurous hitting Rapids like Bronco Billy, Staircase or
Slalom that will assure maximum wetness and adrenaline!
Local Flare
There is so much to do and explore in our small town. Here are a few notable mentions to get you started
The Longhorn Restaurant & Bar
Fair warning: The Longhorn Restaurant & Bar is dangerous. Not in a bad way — in a "we only meant to stop for one drink and now it's three hours later and we know everyone's name" kind of way. Cold beers, hearty food, and a room full of people who are all here for the same reason: because Garden Valley has a way of slowing everything down to exactly the right pace. Go hungry. Stay longer than you planned. You've been warned
