Room clean, beds were comfortable, it was quiet even when it by the road, restraunt just down street, family dollar across the street, if need to get something. Parking in front of room. It was a great stay.
The rooms were clean, the place from the front looked well manicured and very cute. Loved the two bedrooms! The beds were not the most comfortable but not bad. I loved the decor. Very cozy! Easily accessible to the car.
Idaho has a lot more to offer than expected. This was a last minute booking for extra room since our family’s cabin only had one bathroom for 10 people. Great hotel type room, Super clean. We liked the curtain between beds for privacy since we had our adult daughter staying with us. Free Breakfast was just grab n go packaged snack cakes, but a cafe across the street had a good breakfast. Great price for a last minute booking especially in the area. Close to the National Parks and lots more Idaho places that we plan to return to see next trip. Will definitely remember this place if we return.
The family room was great! It was super clean. We had been traveling for almost a week, and this was truly a wonderful, restful stop. We were going to go out and explore, but the room was so comfortable, we decided to break our “no tv” rule and just relax and watch tv (there were 3 in our suite).
It had great ac. Wonderful, true blackout curtains, and a FULL SIZED fridge! We grabbed a few groceries from a supermarket about a block away and just enjoyed our night!!! Thank you!
Unfortunately, our stay here was extremely disappointing and did not reflect the positive reviews we had read beforehand.
The room felt dirty, had an unpleasant smell, and overall the accommodation felt dark and dingy. The biggest issue, however, was check-in. When we arrived there was nobody at the desk, only a phone number to call. As international visitors without working US calling facilities, this left us in a very difficult position after a long day of travelling, with no obvious alternative way to get assistance. We ended up having to bother some very helpful guests also staying at the property.
What concerned me even more was a sign on the wall by the entrance stating: “Leave us a positive review before you leave and claim your free gift from the check-in desk.” Given that guests were specifically being offered a gift for leaving a positive review, I think that is important context for anyone relying on the very favourable ratings when deciding whether to stay here. Ironically, the check-in desk itself was unmanned when we arrived.
I am not expecting luxury from this type of accommodation, but I do expect somewhere clean, reasonably fresh-smelling and with a reliable way for guests to check in. Unfortunately, our experience fell well short of those basic expectations.
No lake view like in the pictures, just a family dollar store across the street. There was free parking though.
The staff was very nice; the lodge is in a good location (close to Mesa Falls, close to Yellowstone); the offer a lot of good wrapped foods for breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Didn’t interact much with the staff. Check in was super fast and easy. Room was okay. Heater didn’t work very well, kept blowing hot then cold air. Walls are super thin so you hear everything. The internet here does not work. Had to use hotspot the entire time even though we attempted to use their internet. It connects, but the service is bad. Kind of overpriced for what it is.
Everything was amazing
Excellent housekeeping and cleanliness
Great atmosphere and very nicely remodeled
All around great place to stay
Going to stay there again on our return trip back home
