    OUR STORY:

      

    Our story together, starts here in the heart of Idaho’s central mountains. I came to Salmon to rappel and fight wildfire for the Forest Service and Brandon found himself river guiding on the Middle Fork after college. As fate would have it, one dark and stormy night…we met under the stars at the good ol’ fashion…Shady Nook. We spent dates going to hotsprings, floating the river, horseback riding, hunting, and finally getting engaged on the Middle Fork River at Mist Falls. It is a day I will never forget. Lunch stop at Mist Falls…huge elk rack hanging off the boat, searching for wild mint for cocktails and perfect placement of a hand-made engagement ring with elk antlers hiding under the mist of the falls. I think at heart - Brandon is a big romantic. (He also knew that elk antlers were perfect because I grew up in the town of Elk City, Idaho) Who can say “no” to that? 

    The rest is history. We found our perfect piece of heaven, got hitched, built a house and had babies! Many property improvements have been made since living in the snowmobile trailer and having an outdoor shower under the big aspen tree.

    Now, we want to share our little piece of heaven with you!

    Knowing all the activities that Salmon has to offer, we made our wedding weekend a wedding adventure! Friends came out early, camped on the property, floated the river, went to the hotsprings, rode horses, had campfires, dutch-oven cookouts, went fishing, hiking, paddleboarding, mountain biking… and we even had a local gym host a group wedding workout session!

    Let us help you make your wedding the most memorable adventure possible!

      GET ON THE RIVER RIGHT FROM THE PROPERTY!

      Cactus River Ranch is working hard to build up our rental inventory to provide everything you would need on-site. We have river front access that provides a unique opportunity to launch a boat, paddle board or inner tube from the property! Currently, we have an aluminum drift boat with paddles and life-jackets, one paddle board with life-jacket, one 18-ft raft with frame, paddles and life-jackets and 2 mountain bikes for rent. Our website is still in progress...so, please call Jessica at (208) 596-5432 for rental equipment. 


      We can also help with shuttle logistics!



      RULES:


      Please make sure RV tanks are empty in order to hook up to septic. No RV dump station on site.


      With the river location, we get very windy conditions along the river corridor. Awnings can easily become damaged during these conditions. Please take notice and consider putting awnings away so that they don't get damaged. Along the same lines, please don't have campfires if the winds are high. 


      Make sure your dogs are on a leash. We have mules on the property that DO NOT like dogs. This is for the safety of your dog. 


      No fireworks on the premises. 


      We do have a couple small trash cans that get dumped on Thursdays...that being said....we are NOT a dump. If trash cans are full or you have large items, please haul your trash to Lemhi County Landfill. They are open Monday-Friday: 7am-5:15pm and have dumpsters open on the weekend.
