Very nice property and room. Right off highway, so convenient, and pet friendly. Our only issue was that we couldn’t get the tv to work, even though management tried to help us.

Everything was great except for all the snow pilled in front of the door. Walkways needed to be shoveled better for safety reasons.

Perfect for a Quick Rest on a Long Trip!

We stayed at the Fishing Bear Lodge in Ashton, Idaho as a quick stop on our long trip home, & it was a cozy, comfortable place to rest for the night. The room was very clean, & we felt safe & at ease during our stay. The only issue we encountered was with checkout. Since we had to leave early the next day, we weren’t sure what to do with our room key & ended up just leaving it in the room, hoping that would be okay. I should’ve asked the evening before, but I thought there might be a dropbox for the key by the front door. Despite this minor inconvenience, I’d definitely stay here again—it's a great option for anyone just passing through!

The room was clean, cozy, and awesome. We have many kids and the family suit was perfect. 2 queens and 4 twins in the form of bunk beds was great for everyone. It is an added bonus that there's a family dollar across the street in case you forget stuff. We'll probably only stay there when we need to go through there in the future.
