About Peter and Debbie Backus

Homeowner in Ashton, Id and Tucson, AZ Real Estate Developer

I have an interest in fly fishing, floating, horses, hunting and hiking.. We fully improved a lodge that was great to start and now is better. You will not be disappointed and feel that you received every penny worth of value.

Peter and Debbie Backus purchased this lodge in 2011
Why Peter and Debbie Backus chose Ashton

It is secluded and in the middle of the best fly fishing in the Country. There is also great horseback riding, hiking and the relaxation of no activity is also superb This is a place that the activity has no boundaries.

What makes this lodge unique

You can fish and or float the Fall River, Henry's Fork of the Snake, the Teton and the South Fork of the Snake easily, plus you may fish our privately stock trout pond. If you care to relax on our river deck , read a book or enjoy a hot tub this is the perfect place!

My birthday bash at Fall River Lodge September 2012

5 of 5
Submitted: October 2, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Everything about this resort was just as advertised. It was the perfect place for any sort of get together for family, friends or class mates or celebration. In my case it was my 75th birthday celebration. Everyone agreed it was a perfect spot. So relaxing to be by the river. Everything was clean and well supplied. Everything you could wish for and more. I particularly liked the living area on the main floor with glass all around floor to ceiling and being in the jacuzzi outside looking up at the tall pine trees was fabulous. The sleeping accomodations were luxurious. We all slept great lulled to sleep by the sound of the river flowing just outside. A perfect choice for the occasion. I will certainly be back again. God willing! Thanks Debby and Peter for making everything 'just so'.

What a great spot for a vacation. The owners have thought of everything you might need for a wonderful visit. The setting couldn't be better as the lodge sits right next to a river so you can sit on the porch eating your breakfast as the river rolls by. If you like, you can spend your day exploring the local area before relaxing with cocktails beside a campfire or take some time to fly fish for trout. Follow up dinner with a dip in the hot tub while you relax from a fun day under the eveing stars. Can't ask for anything more !

This lodge is absolutely beautiful! The pictures DO NOT do it justice! A great private setting in a beautiful area with lots of activities....fly fishing, tubing, picnics on the river, horseback riding, hiking and one great view after another! Or, if you just want to relax, never leave the lodge and enjoy the view this is the place. It is very evident that the owners take a lot of pride in this place...everything is first class all the way! Don't miss out on a great experience.

The Perfect place for some family time

Submitted: August 17, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
My Siblings and I and our spouses spent a week at the Falls River Ranch in July/August of 2012. It was the perfect place. Secluded yet easy to get places with some fun wildlife sightings! It was peaceful and oh so beautiful. Debbie and Peter were the perfect hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was what we needed it to be. There was plenty of room for all of us and so fun to eat our dinner every night out on the deck overlooking the river. We definitely will return at some future time. Next time I think we might even bring the kids. They will love it!

Great place and location!

We loved Fall River Ranch Resort and would recommend it for any size group. The lodge has a great kitchen and family room big enough to accommodate a large family reunion. New appliances, dishes, etc. Loved the additional housing option in the other building. Everyone has their own room and bathroom which is hard to find anywhere else. More kitchen/eating space over there as well. We did not use the downstairs bunk house but we all checked it out and were excited to come back another year with all of our children. They would love to sleep in it. Loved the pool table and deck. We ate out on the deck every night. Beautiful and private spot. Debbie and Peter Backus are great to work with.
