I would go back.... we loved that the rooms are large and clean. I could not get my grandchildren out of the walk in shower with the rain shower head. Nice large pillows, which most hotels do not have along with a comfortable bed. We loved the atmosphere and hours of the pool and hot springs.

This place is a hidden gem! Because it is not a very large resort the hot springs were never too crowded. The hotel accommodations were simple but very well maintained. The overall size and quality makes this a place everyone needs to visit when they come to Idaho.

Fun family friendly
You can tell this is a family run business and family friendly. The few issues we had (tv, more towels) were met with enthusiasm for / and quick response.

Family trip to Hot Springs
Family trip to hot springs. We were able to play in the hot springs upon check in, after dinner and again the next morning. Staff was friendly. Room was clean. The improvements to the facility is well done. We will be back. So relaxing to enjoy the pools and stay on property.

No hot water, and no attempt made to fix it. I picked the place for the jetted tub.

We had a great time for Valentine’s Day. The hot tub was full of a bunch of loud obnoxious teenagers, but still had a great time relaxing. Bed sucked, but the jetted tub was great. Check-in was easy, and hassle free. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, would recommend this place as a weekend getaway.

This property is great . I wish it had a couple rugs to feel a little bit more inviting, and that the bathroom was a little cleaner, but other than that for the price it was great!! The staff is really friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay there again!

Very clean and a good value. The staff was amazing. I only wished the snow removal was better, it was difficult to walk and drive on the property. Our condo was very cold when we arrived and it took hours to warm up. Overall a fun stay. We plan to return.
