Super remote, no one on site, general store closes at 6. Room had coffee which was nice and the location on the river is pretty. But be prepared to be on your own for food and service during your stay.

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.

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.

This was a great experience staying right on the river watching the wildlife and river flowing by. Relaxing on the rooms patio watching deer and other wildlife go by. The room was very clean and comfortably appointed. The mattress was the most comfortable I have slept on. Will stay again.

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 .

So much charm on the Salmon River
Absolutely beautiful! Right on the Salmon River! Our deck which was almost over the river had a lovely table and chairs complete with a candle and matches.
The room was large, very nicely decorated and full of charm. A wonderful overnight stay before our drive to Sun Valley!

The room was clean. Your back window is over looking the Salmon River, you have a deck to sit out on and just enjoy the beautiful outdoors. The owners were excellent at staying in contact with us through text and always available

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!
