The room was wonderful! I loved the decor, the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom had a separate shower and a large soaking tub! The owner's provided extra amenities such as snacks, tea & coffee, handmade bath bombs, and they even had extra charging cords/plugs to use in the room in case you forgot yours. I'll definitely be staying again next time in the area!

It was in center of town and very peaceful. My Ida is a very small friendly town. Although we didn’t use it really liked the garden area and facilities for rock cleaning. It was a very comfortable stay and would definitely recommend

We are already planning a return trip; that should speak volumes. It's within easy walking distance of the outdoor Front Porch stage, where local and regional bands play mostly roots Americana on Saturday nights all summer long.

We enjoyed the stay. The bed was super comfortable and the big bathtub was very relaxing. What a beautifully restored property. The yard/patio area was very welcoming and we enjoyed the 2 cats who were always happy to greet us at the door. We'll definitely be back

Spectacular property. Room is stylish and comfortable. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and well organized. Nicest owner we ever met! Crystal washing station right in the backyard. Delicious Mexican restaurant that is walking distance. Close to crystal mines. Looking forward to our next trip to Rockhound Boutique Hotel!

Perfect spot to stsy after digging for crystals

Solo traveled from Wisconsin to go to the quartz mines. This location was close and not hidden in the middle of the woods. Couple restaurants you can walk to. Very modern bathroom!

blown away with perfection

Style was gorgeous, attention to detail impeccable. Every thing new and clean, most comfortable bed I’ve experienced at any luxury hotel. The soaking tubs and bath robes so comfortable. The concierge service wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for more useful amenities the gas grill, out door fireplace and rock cleaning station were more than appreciated. I would give this place a 210% better than many luxury hotels I’ve stayed.

The room was spectacularly clean! Everything was beautiful and comfortable. The decor was adorable. We enjoyed the hot coffee, tea, and the deep soaker tub after a hard day of digging for diamonds. We loved the location as it was so close to local shops and eateries. The side garden where you could borrow mining equipment and clean your finds was perfect. Enjoyed the firepit and had smores with neighbors! 5 stars, if ever up there again, will absolutely stay there again!

Our room was beautiful! It was very cozy and clean. The staff were instantly responsive. I really liked the check-in process. I received a text at checkin time explaining how to get in. They also have lots of rock hounding equipment to borrow for using at the nearby crystal mines. There was a delicious Mexican restaurant within walking distance. They even have $1 Taco Tuesday night! I would 💯 percent recommend staying at the Rock Hound Boutique.
