Burgdorf Hot Springs
Escape to Burgdorf Hot Springs’ historic cabins for a unique getaway. Enjoy rustic charm, natural hot springs, and serene Idaho wilderness on this back-to-basics adventure.
Burgdorf Hot Springs manages a collection of historic, off‑grid log cabins set in scenic meadows near natural hot springs in Idaho. The property offers a back‑to‑basics lodging experience: cabins feature wood‑burning stoves, rustic furnishings, and in many cases loft sleeping; guests should bring their own bedding and cooking supplies. There is no electricity or running water in most cabins, making Burgdorf a true disconnect-from-technology retreat for campers and small groups.
Cabin options range from intimate two-person units like The Long Tom and The Little White Cabin to larger family-style lodges such as The Castle and The Hornet’s Nest, with capacities listed per cabin. The Margaret and The Marie offer spacious porches and meadow views, while other historic cabins (including The Mary, Derail, Dutch, and an additional cabin labeled Unknown) preserve pioneer-era character and simple living.
Safety and stewardship are part of the operation: wood stoves are standard heat sources, and guests are briefed on wood-burning safety and leave-no-trace principles. Burgdorf Hot Springs is often recommended for travelers seeking solitude, natural hot springs access, and a historically authentic Idaho cabin experience.
Bookings and detailed cabin descriptions are available through The Adventure Collective listing. Photographs, sleeping capacities, and amenity notes are provided for each cabin so visitors can choose the right fit for their group. Seasonal availability and specific check-in instructions are provided on each listing to help guests prepare before arrival and plan their stay comfortably ahead.
