About Cottonwood

Set on the rolling Camas Prairie between Lewiston and Grangeville, Cottonwood offers a quiet, slow-paced lifestyle in north-central Idaho. With around a thousand residents, it has the kind of close-knit feel where folks wave as you drive by and local businesses anchor daily routines. Drivers along Highway 95 usually spot the town right away thanks to Dog Bark Park, the famous two-story beagle building. For anyone looking to relocate, it provides an easygoing rural home base surrounded by big skies, mountain views, and plenty of open space.
