Top reviews in Ponderay

Outdoors Inn

A building with a wooden exterior, a covered outdoor seating area with chairs, and a parked vehicle.

Location: Ponderay
Review: Completely upgraded room, very clean, everything was excellent! As one review mentioned there is a train track across the highway and you can hear muffled voices in the adjacent room- but after a ski day when we sleep, we hear nothing!, by Margaret, January 14, 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent

Genesis Mountain Farm

Two A-frame tents with wooden platforms, set in a forested mountainous area with snow on the ground.

Location: Sandpoint
Review: We had an amazing time from start to finish. The views were breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for the evening, and the entire staff was absolutely incredible—attentive, welcoming, and thoroughly professional. We have had some truly great meals in the past, but the culinary execution here completely sets a new standard. Every dish was exceptional. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit so unforgettable; we cannot wait to return., by Scott, October 26, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Best Western Plus Ponderay Mountain Lodge

A Best Western Plus hotel with a stone facade, wooden beams, and a covered entrance.

Location: Ponderay
Review: What a nice little hotel! The room and bed were spacious and comfortable. The room amenities were great. The breakfast was actually spectacular. It felt very safe. I did not check out the gym or pool but I wish I had. Some of the front desk folks were more pleasant than others. My room had a view of the front parking lot, which was not great. I see that there were rooms on the other side of the hall that had beautiful views of a snowy wooded area, and I wished I had that view!, by Anonymous traveler, January 26, 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent

Springhill Suites By Marriott Sandpoint

An outdoor seating area with a round table, a fire pit, and a view of a mountain.

Location: Ponderay
Review: The hotel is new and very nice and clean. The breakfast was one of the best ones I've had a hotel. The lobby area is large with lots of tables and seating options. There is a nice outdoor seating area with a beautiful view of the mountains. The only complaint is having to pay for parking. I didn't see anything on the website about it and was told when we checked in. It was not a downtown hotel; it seemed totally unnecessary. I don't like hidden fees., by LaNae, May 13, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

Humbird

A modern building with large windows and a wooden facade, surrounded by snow.

Location: Sandpoint
Review: We had a great stay at Humbird. Because the ski season hadn’t started yet it was just pretty quiet around the village. We had dinner at the near by pub and had coffee in the morning at the cafe. All the shops and restaurants are right next to each other. The front desk was so kind and very helpful when we checked in. If you are checking in past 5 you need to go to the front desk across the parking lot because the front desk in humbird closes. Luckily we got there right at 4:55 so we just made it..., by Lindsey, November 13, 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent
