staycation

When you need a vacation but don't want to fly or go super far, lucky for us there are unbelievable places to visit in the gem state. From some of the most amazing lakes, hot springs, and natural landscape dotted with cozy and unique Airbnbs to explore.

Believe it or not, Idaho is home to over 2,000 lakes and this one was named the very best one to visit in the United States!

There has to be a catch, right? What's the catch?!

Either way on one of my max bets I filled up the little coin thing and got to pick a character, then it had 7 free spins. On the last spin the machine just kept going, the total earnings in one go was $900!!!! My heart was pounding! It was so exciting!

Another thing that makes this whole thing special, the tents are kid and pet friendly. Bring the whole family for a fun filled glamping trip. There is a great romantic feel to these also, so a planned weekend away from the kids would be a great option too. Just sayin'

Usually when Idaho is topping a national chart it is for something positive but not this time. AAA Idaho did a study and on average in the gem state we had a 20-cent jump, in one month. That is a substantial leap for a 30 day period.

Mackay, Idaho is often called the 'top of Idaho' since it is at the base of Mt. Borah who's peak reaches 12,662 feet, the highest point in the gem state. It is a sight to see with natural beauty all around and a small western charm town that is plugging away in its own world.

I have to admit the outside seems um, unappealing, however the inside is charming, cute, clean and a bit of a surprise, although I don't know what I was expecting.

If you don't have your own off road dunes vehicle, then world class UTVs are waiting to take you on the ride of a lifetime. Conveniently located on-site, Adventure Dune Rentals can help you do just that.

Tamarack Resort upgraded their outdoors by adding two new additions to its renowned bike park. Now it also features a pump track and jump park, including a kid zone.
