Room was very clean and beds were comfortable. Other than that the furnishings were VERY outdated, table was wobbly, bathroom outdated, room is poorly lit, "TV" was a 26" monitor waaaayy across the room, etc. When you arrive you are immediately hit with rules - parking signs, then when you check in you have to sign a paper with a list of rules (and their associated fines). Inside the room are more rules. While there is a kitchenette one rule is no frying anything, so forget your bacon and sausage breakfast.

Idaho, because of the low vaccination rates for the Delta Covid variant, has caused conservative property owners to be off the grid in terms of stay restrictions. If you are traveling on your own or as a couple and do not seek to have visitations from friends this is a great place. If you would expect to have visitors over at any level forget it. They will not be admitted to your unit - very restrictive practices here,

The Valley Creek Lodge was a great spot for us. The check-In process was very smooth and everyone was super friendly, from the housekeeper to the owner. The location is so convenient to area restaurants and Stanley Lake hikes and the place was spotless. We would stay again for sure.

The rooms are very large and have a kitchenette which makes them a great spot for a Stanley vacation. Super clean and well-cared for. Nice views out the front and back and a great location to get wherever you are headed in the area.

Scenery right outside our door was beautiful.
Did not like the fact that you needed some sort of TV "membership" (Comcast) to be able to watch the television. We had no TV for the 2 days we were there, but survived.

I loved the balcony on the front and back of the room. I love the very relaxed vibe that I get from being there. There are seats that are along the little creek that faces a small mountain. Great for viewing the antelope which seem to come every morning down to the water and graze in the field.
I didn’t expect to have room service, but every day , the room was cleaned and fresh soap and shampoo was brought in. The beds were very comfortable and they have an outdoor patio area for folks to grill, if you are interested in that. Love the place.

We were pleasantly surprised by this little hotel. Rooms were clean and airy. I really liked the back door with beautiful views of the mountains. Very well taken care of property with decks, flowers, little outside tables. I would definitely return if I am ever in Stanley again.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Place seemed incredibly clean. Check in was easy. The only thing to note is the lack of air conditioning. Probably doesn't matter in Stanley most of the time, but worth mentioning. Kitchen is stocked with all housewares one may need if you plan on cooking for yourself during your stay. Does seem like there are a lot of rules posted around everywhere, but its all common sense stuff. Man who runs the place is probably just tired of dealing with tourists.

Perfect location for what we wanted to do in Stanley, being only an 11 minute drive from our trailhead. Extremely clean facility that is obviously well cared for. I especially appreciated that the owner was still so health conscious around the fact that the pandemic is not yet over. When we return, we hope to get a room here again. Thank you for your hospitality.

Exceptionally clean
Our room was much larger than expected and was spotlessly clean, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. The owners clearly take pride in the property. We followed the advice of other reviewers and requested a room on the second floor. The floors did seem a bit squeaky and I'm not sure we would have enjoyed our stay as much if we'd been on the ground floor. The walls are thin and we could hear our neighbors quite clearly after they returned to the room around 11:00 p.m. I almost got up to ask them to try to keep the noise down but they finally quieted down around midnight, allowing us to fall asleep.

Fantastic! The room was very clean, beds comfortable, the views out front and back windows were beautiful! The owner is a gentleman, very helpful, and friendly to us.
Ask for upstairs room, it’s an old structure with squeaky floors. Overall, it was the best room we had in our 2 week vacation.

We like it was a small hotel with beautiful scenery. Of the sawtooth mountains What we didnt like was check out is at 10 am. Its husband and wife who own rhe place . The hotel has 7 rooms available.
Our room was nice. Qe went with family we were able to be right next door to eachother. It has a small walkable wooden sidewalk in back . All the rooms has a back door to see the beautiful scenery of the mountains, its only 10-15 miles from red fish lake.
