We don’t believe in the idea that places should remain hidden. We believe that these gems should be shared for all who want to experience them. That being said I kind of hope this place remains the quiet retreat it is. This spot is one of Chad’s favorite in Idaho. I had never been, even though I have driven by it a hundred times on my way to Stanley. Stanley has always been my favorite place in Idaho, but it does get crowded in peak summer months. If only there was a place down the road from Stanley that was quieter during vacation season…

Welcome to Grandjean Idaho. Just 40 miles south of Stanley this small settlement underneath the Sawtooth Mountains has inexplicably been hidden from vacationers and Idaho residents alike. Settled over a hundred years ago by Emile Grandjean this place is right out of an Idaho history book. Six miles off Highway 21, nestled deep in a gorgeous valley, it’s the perfect place to get lost for a weekend.
The main attraction here is the Sawtooth Lodge, built in 1927 as a hunting lodge by Babe Hansen. Today the lodge serves as the central hub of all activity in Grandjean. If you don’t want to pitch a tent at the many sites along the Payette River, you can grab an old cabin or hook up your RV. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at the lodge and pick up essentials like ice and milkshakes. And this isn’t just hot dogs and hamburgers, it’s a fresh, farm to table menu with local ingredients. There’s a geo thermal pool, fire pits, nature walks, bike riding, guided horseback rides and much more to do at the lodge.
Finally, two miles away from the lodge is the Sacajawea hot springs, located right along the crystal clear Payette river. For me, natural hot springs are hit and miss. I’ve laid in black mud and gotten out of a few still smelling like sulfur. But these pools are pristine, no smell, beautiful sandy floors, the sound of the Payette singing in your ears. These hot springs quickly became one of my favorite in all of Idaho.
I think it’s important also to say that this video isn’t sponsored by the Sawtooth Lodge or anyone for that matter. We aren’t under any obligation to sell you on this place. We just truly dig Grandjean and the Sawtooth Lodge and think you will too. Thanks for watching and we’ll see you next time!
