Owner
Hi, we are Randy and Teri Hallman from Eagle, Idaho. The second they set foot on the Cool Water property, they knew it was too beautiful to develop and ruin. The Hallman family purchased it in 2022. They had the vision to share this beautiful spot with others. Cool Water Lane property was a dairy farm over 100 years ago. More recently the property was a boys’ school before the Hallmans purchased the property.

or your wedding, you will absolutely not be disappointed. I’ve had the pleasure of working several weddings here, and every single one has been nothing short of incredible. Each event effortlessly transforms into a picture-perfect setting, with endless opportunities for stunning photos. The natural landscape alone elevates every detail, creating a romantic and unforgettable atmosphere. This venue doesn’t just host weddings—it enhances them, making each celebration feel truly special and memorable.

What an amazing place! Arguably, it is the most beautiful venue in the greater Boise area. Nestled on the bank of the Payette River, this venue boasts not only the river, but a won...
derful backdrop of Squaw Butte Mountains, multiple ponds, beautiful landscape including big old willow trees, a 1925 Ford Model T, a late 1800’s horse drawn buggy, a barn, western fencing, old antique farm equipment and many other options for our special event pictures. This place also offers an awesome Airbnb home (Tudor on the River), which sleeps 14 and works great for wedding guests and other types of events such as vacations, family reunions and such. We are certainly planning to use this beautiful place again in the near future for our family reunion! The owners are wonderful to work with, very honest, accommodating and easy to communicate with.
