Back in June of 2020, late-night host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel along with fly fishing guide/lodge owner Oliver White purchased the South Fork Lodge for an undisclosed price. We can only guess it was close to 8 million, as the lodge was on the market for 7.95 Million in 2019.
The Eastern Idaho lodge sits alongside the Snake River and boasts eight bedrooms with their own outdoor patios, two private cabins containing five suites, a self-contained four bedroom/2.5 bath river house, four fisherman cabins, and a high-end restaurant replete with outdoor, riverside seating and a grand bar It even has its own in-house fly shop and guide service.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the South Fork Lodge “will incorporate fishing art and books from Kimmel’s personal collection when it opens next spring for the 2021 season.”
