I looked at lodgings closer to home -- say, Island Park or Ashton. There was what seemed to be a nice place for only $1,499 per night -- which was about $1,400 above the the max I'd budgeted for. This place is quite mice and comes in at $93 per night.

Let me know if you ever want to stay in Island Park, Idaho and I'll send you the URL for a nice lodging place. Let me know how it was.
