Cheers to Legends and Legacies Out Where the Wild Things Are – Steele-n-Jo

a bone-a-fide connection destination

vecteezy_vintage-divider-ornament-clip-art_22093714_8

Steele-n-Jo’s Bone (formerly known as The iconic Bone Store) has been a treasured retreat in southeast Idaho since the early 1900s — a place where wanderers, riders, families, and friends have gathered for generations. Over the years, Bone has worn many hats: general store, post office, gas station, dance hall, music venue, pool hall, schoolhouse, coffee shop, livestock hub, cattle‑drive midpoint, Saturday‑night rendezvous, rodeo arena, wedding venue, restaurant, and bar (yes — the one with the urinal in the middle of the floor).

Through every chapter, one thing has never changed: Bone is where people find connection, belonging, and the kind of stories that become legend.

Today, we honor that legacy by stepping fully into what Bone has always done best — bringing people together.

Legends and legacy - The spirit of Bone

Steele-N-Jo’s Bone is a unique connection destination unlike any other in southeast Idaho. The uniqueness of the venue is as genuine as its history. Nestled in the foothills of the Blackfoot Mountain Range, approximately 18 miles from Idaho Falls is Steele-N-Jo’s Bone.

Steele-N-Jo’s Bone offers a unique connection experience for friends and loved ones. We are a welcomed break from the noise and a friendly atmosphere to unplug and enjoy the livin’ part of life. We want your experience with us to be one worth remembering and will continue to bring you back again and again.

There truly is a secret to Bone – and we want everyone to experience it. The Bone-A-Fide Legends and Legacies Tribe welcomes you with open arms!

FAQ

vecteezy_vintage-divider-ornament-clip-art_22093714_8

We are now an event‑only venue. To visit Bone, you’ll need to check the calendar and come to one of our signature events or reserve the venue for a wedding, retreat, reunion, or private gathering.

Yes — during events we proudly serve our signature Bone dishes and cold drinks. Because we are a licensed venue, outside food and beverages are not permitted at any event. Come hungry, come thirsty — we’ve got you covered.

After six years of trying to balance it all, we realized that events are the sustainable, family‑aligned path forward. This shift allows us to protect our time, honor our family, and preserve the magic of Bone for generations to come.

Service animals are always welcome — the real, trained kind. (We trust you to know the difference and to honor the spirit of the law.)

Dogs are allowed on the grounds as long as they remain on a leash and under control of the owner, and never left unattended in a closed vehicle or camp site.

Dogs are not allowed during events. It’s a people‑thing, a safety‑thing, and an experience‑thing.

Please respect the land and clean up after your pet. It’s simple: take care of Bone, and Bone takes care of you.

Yes — families are welcome at most events. Some events (like Witches Brew) are adults‑only, and others (like The Witches of Bone) are designed specifically for kids. Kids are welcome to be anywhere but the bar top, in the stream, and on the rocks. We love kids and their parents should love them enough to keep them safe and out of the areas mentioned above. Unattended children will be taught the artistic ability to use a 4 letter word as a noun, adjective, pronoun, and verb. We believe in a well rounded vocabulary in Bone.

Absolutely. Many of our couples and event hosts choose Bone specifically because their guests can camp on‑site. It’s part of the magic. It is Dry camping only. No hookups, no utilities, just the crisp mountain air and wide‑open Idaho sky. Perfect for destination weddings, retreats, and event weekends.

We currently have one cabin available — the Rustic Retreat. You can check availability under Accomodations

Like the brands on the ceiling, we wanted to brand Bone too. Steele is Kory’s middle name and Jo is Amanda’s middle name. We also own Steele-N-Jo’s Fishin’ Hole…that’s an entirely different adventure. We didn’t add store, bar, grill, etc after Bone. To us, it’s just Bone – where your heart feels at home. ❤

Our signature lineup includes:

  • For the Love of Bone Winter Classic Vintage Snowmobile Show (February)
  • Bone Derby Days (May)
  • Brody’s Ride (Weekend after memorial Day)
  • Howlin’ in Bone (June, July, August, September)
  • Bonetoberfest (October)
  • Witches Brew (adults) (October)
  • The Witches of Bone (kids — courage, creativity, energy, and light) (October)
  • Guest chef nights (throughout the year)
  • Wellness retreats (throughout the year)
  • Weddings, reunions, and corporate gatherings (throughout the year)
  • Gratitude is the Attitude (November)
  • Branding of Bone (November)

Yes — and they’re becoming one of our most popular offerings. Bone is ideal for couples who love the outdoors, want a relaxed and meaningful celebration, and enjoy the option of on‑site camping.

Submit a Booking Request through our website and we’ll follow up with availability, pricing, and details.

Wellness Retreats, and much more. We have a space for everyone to connect.

Absolutely. Your caterer will just need to complete the liability policy paperwork and list us as an additional insured on their policy.

No. To keep the experience safe, consistent, and Bone‑A‑Fide, outside food and beverages are not allowed at any event.

Yes — Bone has always been a favorite stop for riders and outdoor enthusiasts. Just check our calendar to make sure an event is happening before you head up.

Bone is a place to unplug. Service can be spotty depending on your carrier, and we do not offer public Wi‑Fi.
