The lodge features clean and comfortable facilities, with guest reviews praising the cozy atmosphere and practical amenities such as kitchen and laundry access.

This place was Amazing! Planned on being here for a night, but stayed for three! Extremely clean accommodations, rustic lodge feel, warm and cozy, quiet and peaceful, and plenty to explore in the Clearwater valley. Can't beat the price either. They took very good care of us! Next time we are in the area, we will stay here again! Thanks!

The AC didn't work so it was uncomfortably warm upstairs. Not a big deal as I was able to open a window and get some cool air during the night. The owner has you pay in advance even though he has your credit card on file. I found this to be strange but not a deal breaker. To use the upstairs you pay for the beds you use. The first bed I went to sleep in had hair on the sheets. I switched beds and told the owner. He didn't charge me for two beds. Apparently someone took advantage of this place and used a bed but didn't tell, or pay. Otherwise it was a great little place to stay. The owner even brought us more coffee. There was a flooding issue in town and the owner brought us bottled water saying he wanted to be safe. I’d stay here again and do recommend it to others. Stites is a cool little town with some good places to eat.

This is an awesome, hidden gem in middle-of-nowhere Idaho. We found it while looking for a place to stay overnight on our roadtrip up north. The cabins are cute, but the kids LOVED the upstairs. The downstairs shower was way nicer than I thought it would be. Besides how awesome the cabins are, Troy provided the most outstanding customer service I've experienced at an airBnB. He dropped everything he was doing (probably sleeping) in the middle of the night to help us with something that *we* accidently caused, at no fault of his. He didn't hesitate or complain. He showed up with a huge, friendly smile and took care of my family. He has earned forever customers!

A very nice place to stay, everything is here for doing laundry to cooking food. And all for a great price. Will definitely stop again if in the area.
