About this lodge

Expanded over 9 acres, we have converted the old Garden Valley High School, Middle School, and Elementary school into a one of a kind location for all of your family memories. Your Idaho family reunion location and corporate retreat facility. It is the perfect location for large family reunions, church retreats, weddings, and large events. We have a fully functioning lodge with an awesome kitchen, full size basketball court, bounce houses, rock climbing wall, fishing pond, and game room for your enjoyment. Our facility sleeps over 80 people in beds and has a full commercial kitchen set up for big families.

Located only 50 minutes from the edges of Eagle Idaho, there is no other places that can accommodate large groups, be within an hours drive of Boise, and still get the mountainous feel like River Canyon Retreat. To sum it all up we are your perfect Idaho family reunion location.

Garden Valley, the gateway to an authentic Central Idaho Mountains adventure. Garden Valley is surrounded in all directions by mountain peaks, some over 7,000 feet. Two river systems carve valleys covered in the lush green of summer growth along with wildlife, stock and horses. In 1934 a new post office established the identity of Crouch, now one of the commercial districts for Garden Valley. The town was named after Billy Crouch, a miner who homesteaded near the confluence of the Middle and South Fork Rivers. In the 1920s, Crouch donated property for a new community hall in Garden Valley.

Our family is still talking about the amazing time they had at River Canyon Retreat. Last night our 17 yr old grandson said he loved how there was always something to do, our 13 yr old granddaughter said, “you think bounce houses are only for little kids, but we were on the slide practically 24/7 and loved it!” All the mom’s loved the kitchen and being able to comfortably seat all 51 of us in the lodge living room for Grandpa’s family time. The dining room was wonderful with seating for everyone, fantastic area for afternoon crafts, and a favorite place for late night card games. The teenagers loved hanging out in the hot tub & the game room in the late evenings. There was something for everyone all at the same time, which is amazing for a group of 50+.The guys played basketball, another group playing pickleball, and mom’s & dad’s doing the rock climbing wall with their children, all at the same time.. It will go down in our families memories as one of the very best family reunions.

We stayed at River Canyon Retreat July 15th through July 18, 2024. We have our family reunion with our children, grandchildren, and great-children, and started it celebrating our 59th wedding anniversary. We have a large variety of ages and River Canyon Retreat is perfect for all of their activities and interests, from playing Volleyball and Basketball in the gym, to the bounce houses for the children. We have great chefs in our family and they enjoy the wonderful kitchen and food storage facilities. This was our second time staying here, and it was just as fun as the first time. We would highly recommend it to any large group.

We had our family reunion this year at River Canyon Retreat, and it was fantastic! We loved that there was space for all 81 of us to be together on the same property. We enjoyed the rock climbing wall, bounce houses, hot tub, swimming pool, fishing pond, game room, and playing volleyball/basketball games. The walk-in refrigerator, kitchen, and dining facilities were great for helping to prepare and serve meals to our group. Everyone had an amazing time, and memories were created that we will always cherish. Thank you, River Canyon Retreat!

River Canyon Retreat is a hidden gem... right in plain sight. It's a wonderful venue in a delightful setting and a very reasonable / enjoyable drive from the Boise valley... what's not to love? Greg & Cheryl are just as welcoming and helpful as all the other reviews said they would be! :-) Our gathering had a number of special needs and they did everything humanly possible to make our time a success. Their heart for hospitality shows in every communication and detail. Thanks River Canyon Retreat for being the answer to our prayers for a great retreat venue!

I chaperoned 22 high school seniors for a 3 day / 2 night retreat at River Canyon in May. The kids loved it! (They said it was "FIRE"). They spent lots of time in the ginormous gym playing sports, used the hot tub, had campfires, and loved the game room. The living room was perfect for getting everyone together for games, and the commercial kitchen and big dining area made it easy to feed everyone and clean up. The kids liked making the short trip to Crouch to get a coffee, and went to the nearby trailhead to hike. Greg & Cheryl are awesome managers. They were easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and accommodated requests wherever possible, making it easy for me to plan the event. I'll have another senior graduating in 2026 -- we'll be back!

Our second time at River Canyon and we couldn’t be more pleased. Our young children love the bouncy house and slide. Older members enjoyed shooting baskets and the game room. The kitchen and dining area perfect for our large family meals.

We liked all of the activities available at River Canyon Retreat. The lodge with a great kitchen and dining room, to eat delicious meals and snacks. The 5 bedrooms with personal bathrooms was great with the lovely air conditioning in the lodge living room was a great place to gather. The gym is where there were 2 more private bedrooms with bathrooms and then the bunk rooms with gym showers and bathrooms. The Gym had all of the activities that met everybody’s fun! We played and played which included rock climbing, 2 wonderful bounce house which included an obstacle course and huge slide, HUGE boxing gloves, disc golf, basketball and we did Karaoke on the stage. Much fun was had in the pool and hot tub. We also brought our own slip and slides and with permission we played water kick ball and slid down the hill. But even with all of that fun, many went near by and went river rafting with a professional company. But my favorite comment was from my 4 year old grandson, when asked what his favorite part was of ALL the activities? “Rolling down the grassy hill!”

We had a wonderful stay with our group of 55, extended family ages 0-75. The kitchen area was great to cook in, the dining area fit everyone easily, the rooms were nice, the bathrooms updated and clean, and the gym and the pool were so fun for all the kids. Thanks for providing a place we could comfortably be together!
