Kellogg sits in the heart of the Idaho Panhandle’s Silver Valley, with steep timbered country in every direction. Hunters come for elk, whitetail and mule deer, black bear and grouse. Anglers come for westslope cutthroat on the North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River.
After a cold morning on the ridge or a long day wading, Jackass Manor is a serious upgrade from a wall tent: room for 11, free parking with a carport for the truck, a washer and dryer for muddy gear, a gas grill and a fully stocked kitchen, three hot showers and an eight-person hot tub.
Hunting around Kellogg
The country around the Silver Valley offers archery, rifle and muzzleloader opportunities for elk and deer, along with black bear and upland birds. Seasons, units, tags and regulations change every year, so always start with Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
Kellogg is an easy basecamp: you’re right on I-90, so you can head east toward Wallace and Mullan or west toward the Coeur d’Alene River country in minutes.

Why hunting parties like the Manor
Early mornings go smoother when everyone has a bed and there are three bathrooms. The coffee bar is stocked, the kitchen has the cookware for big breakfasts, and the washer and dryer handle wet layers. Long stays of 28 nights or more are welcome for extended seasons or work crews.
One ask: please keep the Manor as clean as you found it. No game processing in the house, and leave the muddy boots at the door. The next herd thanks you.

- Fall weekends overlap with hunting season. Book early for opening week.
