Natural Retreats Launches First American Project on the South Fork of the Snake River, Idaho

SNAKE RIVER, Idaho, Aug. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Having made a reputation throughout the UK for handpicking vacation escapes amid stunning natural beauty, Natural Retreats just launched its first site in North America in a joint partnership with conservationist Mark F. Rockefeller on the banks of the Snake River in Idaho. This locale will be the first of many for Natural Retreats in the U.S., as the UK-based adventure hospitality outfit is committed to expanding the brand and plans to launch up to 40 unique sites in the U.S. adjacent to National Parks and areas of natural beauty. Concurrently, Natural Retreats is launching The Outfitters, a new guiding brand offering access to fly fishing and adventure throughout the region.

Developed by Mr. Rockefeller, the original South Fork Lodge, now rebranded as Natural Retreats South Fork of the Snake River, will be the company's first foray into the U.S. market. This world-class fly fishing retreat offers year-round guided activities including hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, as well as cross-country, downhill and heli-skiing. The lodge features 22 guest suites including interconnecting family units and a four-bedroom private residence, all with Snake River views.

In conjunction with the Snake River property, Natural Retreats is launching a guiding brand, The Outfitters. The guiding team counts 25 outdoor guides who specialize in fly-fishing, kayaking, local wildlife, skiing and heli-skiing. Unmatched in the U.S., the Outfitters program will offer the first proper "African style safaris" for families and independent travellers alike, amid tented luxury where grizzly bears, wolves, mountain lions, bobcats and moose roam.

Nightly rates start from $315.00 per suite, including breakfast, and first class guide services can be booked via www.theoutfitters-us.com.
