Trail Creek Cabin
An unforgettable experience that inspires tradition
What can be more romantic than a winter horse-drawn sleigh ride through the pines to a candlelit, 74-year-old rustic cabin with a roaring fire, roaming accordionist and a hearty meal? The unparalleled ambience and offerings of Trail Creek Cabin are so unique that even locals make the trek an annual family tradition. Some guests come by snowshoe and cross-country skis, while those who prefer four wheels can easily gain access to the cabin, located just a short drive from the Sun Valley Lodge.
Once seated in the cabin or an adjoining cozy new yurt, diners can relax with a drink from the full bar. Enjoy a hot toddy while studying the menu, which offers a wide array of Western-style fare. Start with a bowl of soup du jour to warm you. Then choose from a varied menu that includes wild game—appropriate for the cabin, which once hosted author Ernest Hemingway—Idaho mountain trout, steaks and ribs. Fabulous desserts include a chocolate brownie mousse.
During the warmer months, sit outside and cool off on one of our two decks above Trail Creek. Enjoy a summer cocktail from the outdoor bar and dinner at sunset.
Dinner reservations should be made well in advance. The cabin grounds are available for special functions and now offer summer dining as well. No matter how you get there, get there for an unforgettable experience that could become your tradition.
