Mackay Guesthouse at Iron Ore Reserve
Relax, recharge, and enjoy the Idaho wilderness in comfort at our freshly updated vacation guest home in scenic Mackay. Tucked back in the trees off the road on our small cabin community development , “Iron Ore Reserve” (see www.ironorereserve.com if you’d like more info), this welcoming retreat features new flooring and fresh paint throughout giving the space a clean, modern feel while still embracing the rustic charm of the area. With three comfortable bedrooms—two with queen beds and one with two twin beds—the home sleeps six guests comfortably, plus there are 2 memory foam sleeping pads and bedding available for up to two additional guests. You'll find new beds and cozy bedding to ensure restful nights after a day of adventure.
The home is equipped with everything you need for a seamless stay, including a fully stocked kitchen with a stove, double oven, microwave, coffee maker and all the essentials. Two full bathrooms, a washer and dryer, and ample living space make this the perfect getaway for families, couples, or small groups. In the cold months warm up by the indoor wood burning fireplace or step outside in the summer to enjoy the outdoor fire pit and take in the stunning views and solitude of this quiet mountain town.

We had a great stay at the Mackay Guesthouse at Iron Ore Reserve. Even though it was snowing and very windy during our visit, the house was warm, cozy, and comfortable, making it a perfect place to hunker down. The home was clean, well stocked, and had plenty of space for our group. The setting is peaceful and beautiful, and communication with the hosts was excellent. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.
Our stay here felt homey and relaxed. The house was comfortable, with a cozy feel to it. It was a great place for our family to read, play games, relax and also go out to enjoy hiking and exploring the area.
Great location for exploring the area and nearby recreational opportunities. House was clean with plenty of space for 6 of us. Beautiful stone fireplace wall. There is on-going construction on the grounds to be aware of. Owner is prompt in responding. There was an odor that we'd get a whiff of now and again.
We were very happy with this property. Maybe a bit close to the main road,but it didn’t affect anything we were doing. It has everything you need to make your stay more pleasant.The town’s people were very friendly and I love talking to people about their lives. We stumbled upon an old cemetery to explore, the Mountain View’s were breathtaking, and the historical museum was very interesting. The best was the exploring of the old mine tour. Totally worthwhile to see and experience. Your property was a perfect place to visit all of these wonderful places. Thank you for making it available to travelers like my family.
