Deadwood Outfitters: Idaho Cabin Stays & Guided Adventure

Located in the heart of Cascade, Idaho, Deadwood Outfitters offers an authentic gateway to the rugged outdoors of the Pacific Northwest. This outfitter centers around a handful of carefully maintained rustic cabins — "The Cow Camp," "The Elk Cabin," "The Lion Shack," and "The Bear Den" — each providing a basecamp from which guests can dive into local wilderness activities. The area is defined by towering pine forests, rolling foothills, and the shimmering waters of Cascade Lake, carving out a playground for horseback riding, fishing, and backcountry camping.

Deadwood Outfitters specializes in a range of guided trips, from relaxed one-hour horseback trail rides winding through fragrant lodgepole pines to full-day saddle time crossing varied terrain. For anglers, the open waters of Cascade Lake beckon with guided perch fishing led by experienced guides Matt Gordon and Bill Lavin, whose insider knowledge delivers impressive catch rates, even for novices. During winter months, six-hour ice fishing excursions provide a rare chance to tap into Idaho’s frozen lake ecosystems.

The outfitter’s cowboy camping experience brings a raw connection with the land, allowing guests to spend nights under the stars with hearty campfire meals and shared stories. The cabins themselves offer a rustic but comfortable retreat, appreciated for quality amenities like wood-fired hot tubs and clean modern bathrooms — a welcome end to dusty bikepacking journeys or snowmobiling expeditions.

Deadwood Outfitters stands out in Idaho’s outdoor scene by blending genuine western hospitality with expertly guided adventure. Their approach highlights deep familiarity with local terrain and wildlife, supported by personable staff ready to tailor trips to every skill level. Adventure travelers can expect both the quiet moments of wilderness immersion and productive, purposeful outings in a setting that celebrates Cascade’s distinct seasons and landscapes.
