Generator electricity shut off from 11 pm to 7 am daily. · Breakfast · Hot tub Shepp Ranch is a premier Idaho Guest Ranch located in the Gospel Hump Wilderness of mountainous central Idaho, on the banks of the world famous Salmon River.
Shepp is a perfect place for a family guest ranch vacation, and is also a world class Idaho outfitter, with exceptional hunting and steelhead fishing adventures. Whether you are looking to horseback ride, hike, fish, hunt, jetboat or just relax with a good book, Shepp Ranch offers the complete wilderness experience.
With no road access, the adventure begins when you jetboat up the river to the ranch. You will find a place rich in natural beauty, abundant wildlife, clear starry night skies, and the soothing sound of the "River of No Return" right out your door. Bring your sense of adventure, and leave your worries behind. Come relax and enjoy our western hospitality!

Life at Shepp Ranch is simple and comfortable. You can be as active or lazy as you choose. There is a hot tub overlooking the river where you might catch sight of a bighorn sheep grazing during the day and the stars will shine down on you at night. The sauna is tucked in behind a hedge of bamboo and is a quiet refuge to lean back and feel the worries of the outside world drain away. During the summer the river is warm enough for swimming and playing Frisbee or badminton in its sandy shallows. Coffee machine set ups for your room are available and a cooler of soft drinks can be placed right outside your door. What you won't find are TVs or phones and computers.

If you have been feeling like you and your loved ones are a little too much "plugged in" this is a place to renew family ties with good conversation, nature walks, and evenings around a campfire. Everyone can go their own way during the day and then regroup at mealtimes to relive their adventures. We have an eclectic library in the lodge with everything from the latest bestseller to 1920's National Geographic. Lounge chairs are scattered around the ranch to provide the best views in either sun or shade. Board games and decks of cards are available at the lodge and there is almost always a jigsaw puzzle in progress.

Lodge activities include: horseback riding, fishing, hiking, photography, jet boating, swimming, horseshoes, volleyball, reading and relaxing. Whatever your interest, Shepp Ranch is perfect for your next outdoor adventure. Not only will you be inspired by the natural surroundings, you will be expertly cared for by long-time managers Mike and Lynn Demerse.
