This was a uniquely elegant yet warm and beautiful lodge. The owners were thoughtful and kind and their service was above and beyond. They own a bakery/restaurant in town that serves delicious food, homemade breads and desserts. This was our favorite place of the entire month long trip!

Besides the smoke alarm battery going out in the middle of the night the stay was quite and very nice . We came from spokane to work on a house in the area and we definitely enjoyed the lodge and the staff. The people around town are also very welcoming and fun to be around . Woukd recommend it to anyone looking to just get away for a few days for peace and quiet.

Great place, we would stay here again
Our only regret is that we checked in at dinnertime and had to leave early the next morning. This place is beautiful, both inside and out. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The interior of the hotel was very nice, with lots of good artwork, and a large common area on the first floor. One note is that the included breakfast was not on-site, but at a very nice place just a couple miles down the road in Kamiah. Excellent food, not your typical continental breakfast. Plus, they had a variety of homemade breads and pastries. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing place - we were on Motorcycles, The host checked us in and threw us the keys to a loaner vehicle to take to town for supper. The room was spacious, and clean, bed very comfortable, quiet, no road noise. Complimentary breakfast at the cafe/bakery in town was excellent too.

Thoughtfully restored and updated. New lodge was designed to highest standards while original buildings have been modernized to very nice level. Excellent staff and owners make this property above most others. A delightful change from ordinary. And the same-owner and branded bakery & restaurant offsite but nearby in Kamiah are worth a stop for breakfast. Excellent, thoughtful staff at both locations when travelers are seldom seeing great service.
