Idaho’s Salmon River. Your Escape Destination!

Let us spoil you & your friends or family members with the distinct treasures of the Frank Church “River of No Return” Wilderness.   

Mackay Bar Ranch offers a unique venue where guests are presented with the deliberate opportunity to experience our brand of wonderland in one of Idaho’s largest designated wilderness areas.  

Nowadays, our MBR brand of Wild Idaho is enjoyed by guests who prefer to celebrate its pristine, natural backcountry status, steeped in rich colors, textures and magical landscapes – without “roughing it”.    That means your private group enjoys all of the “creature comforts” and more,  as we cater to our guests with  delicious home cooked meals, served in our main lodge dining room.  Upon arrival,  our friendly, helpful staff will guide you to your comfortable lodgings to unpack, relax, and to explore your new surroundings on the shores of our beachfront venue.  We offer stylish comfort in all accommodations that will include a private bathroom and hot running water.  

The decision to choose a family vacation destination like Mackay Bar Ranch is best determined when considering a range of criteria and values that suit you and your family best. Do your family vacation goals usher in a higher set of values where the focus is less on individual entertainment, and more on celebrating togetherness, laughing,  and having fun together while enhancing family connections?

When you arrive at Mackay Bar, the complex world of rapid fire, attention grabbing distractions dependent on wired connections, already seems a distant memory. Your escape plan materializes as you and your family members step off the jet boat onto our white sandy beach, already lulled into a relaxing state of mind by the pristine beauty that surrounds you.

Mackay Bar Ranch is available to reserve as your family’s exclusive oasis. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about us.
