I would give our stay a 10 for both the room and the surrounding views! Check in was a smooth easy process given our late arrival. Especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the river and weather show. Will keep this one on our list for future stays.

Every room has GORGEOUS views of the river from its shared back porch. Room was also spacious and thoughtfully equipped with a larger mini fridge, microwave, and Keurig. I appreciated that the toiletries weren't single-use and were of high quality. Some aspects of the facilities were dated, but everything was clean. I could hear the people upstairs from me, and the A/C unit for the room next to me ran continuously overnight even though I believe the room was empty. Otherwise, a quiet and peaceful stay. They do warn you about lack of nearby food options and they are not kidding! I wouldn't even rely on the General Store next door, unless eating chili from a can is your idea of a good meal. (I would plan on getting some ice cream from them, though!) While the views are amazing, there really isn't anywhere to walk. This was my rest day, so I didn't mind too much -- but if you are someone who likes to wander or stretch their legs, you'll feel a bit trapped.

We loved our stay here a long the Salmon River. It's a very small lodge and each room faces the river. It was so relaxing and quiet. Just beware that there is only one restaurant in the area with limited hours so be sure to bring along something for breakfast and snacks . There is a microwave and small refrigerator in the room .

The location is great, right on the Salmon river. The room is spacious, clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed having Peet’s coffee in the morning on the balcony while listening to the sound of the birds and the river. Perfect place to sleep and relax.

Quiet peaceful clean stay

Very peaceful overlooking the River. very clean, quiet place to stay. Customer service was excellent- communication. Not very many restaurant choices near by- we ate about five miles north and food was excellent pizza, burgers and fish and chips. Only rec would b taller shower head and taller chairs on balcony. Everything else perfect.

Absolutely beautiful location in a facility with only eight rooms. Minor downfalls that would NOT prevent me from returning are minimal restaurant facilities within 15 miles and no hairdryer in the room. But I’d return in a heartbeat!
