Scheffy's Motel and General Store is located in Avery, ID right on the St. Joe River.  The store is the usual collection of food, fishing and camping items along with a small menu of hot snacks.  The real bargain here is over at the motel.  Scheffy's has converted some old Milwaukee Railroad buildings into comfortable lodging for the sportsman.  The buildings and some of the furniture are a bit dated but everything is clean and comfortable.  All are two-bedroom units and include cable TV and a kitchen stocked with basic dishes, pots and pans.  Our room also had a couple day beds in the living area along with a very modern heater.  At $80/night (that was for two people in Sept 2007) Scheffy's offers a great deal for a family or small group out fishing for cutthroat on the St. Joe or enjoying the many miles of snowmobile or mountain biking trails.
