First Taste of Big Creek

By Sally J Molitor

Nestled in an Idaho wilderness valley, Big Creek Lodge once served miners, pilots, hunters and adventurers before tragically burning down in 2008. Declared a loss, it's spirit endured, inspiring a group of pilots to rebuild it - a Phoenix from the ashes. Yet, they needed someone to bring it to life.

Two thousand miles away, a woman, seeking renewal after a life-altering event, dreamed of a remote, off-grid retreat. When she discovered the pilots' call for a lodge innkeeper, it resonated deeply. In 2020 she left behind 21 years of familiarity to embrace the unknown.

In The First Taste of Big Creek, she recounts stepping into this wilderness adventure, transforming a reborn lodge into a haven of great food, community and personal growth. From the alchemy of the kitchen to a new perspective on life, this is her story of resilience and rediscovery.

Sally J Molitor is a dedicated innkeeper, chef and accomplished musician who manages a remote mountain lodge in the summer. A single mother of nine and happy grandmother, she weaves her rich life experiences into inspirational stories of resilience, love and connection.
