The room had not been cleaned before we arrived. I hope at least the sheets had been changed. Upon arrival we had a dirty towel and robe in the bathroom, no toilet paper, and no soap in the soap dispenser. I asked the guy cleaning next door for supplies. Later when I went to make coffee, I found old coffee and grounds in the pot. The robe that was hanging up had many stains on it and there was so much dust behind the television.

Overrated!

The owners must have submitted the positive ratings themselves because there is no way one could call this property clean or well maintained. It is dirty, dingy, poorly equipped, near zero communication from management. They lied about a free breakfast, the restaurant wasn’t open. It did have a bed and a shower, so I had to give it one star. Make sure you have slippers because you wouldn’t want to put your bare feet on the floor.

It was a good stay other then the shower was clogged so you stood in the water while you showered. That's pretty nasty. The breakfast started at 9:30. That's way to late.

Great one for Flathead Lake!

Very nice place with private jetted hot tub in the room, roku tv, good wifi, kitchen utensils (even if we don’t use them but will be useful for those who plan to cook), and easy access to the lake with nice breakfast included.

Automatic locking system failed us. Was able to enter the code giving and it worked once. Fortunately my spouse was inside when I tested lock mechanism by touching the lock button and from there on the code would not allow it to unlock. We were not able to leave to enjoy a nearby restaurant for food and drinks, only if we packed everything by in the vehicle and leave the room unlocked. The individual that was there monitoring the establishment was an idiot that was no help. Number at the so called desk area was called but no responding. The room was comfortable and cozy for a night stay. I hope someone contacts whom ever owns this place to inform them of our issue so it doesn’t happen to someone else moving forward

Room was fine, clean, quaint and easy check in. Could not figure out how Spectrum worked. When you click the Spectrum app it would ask for a password. 2 remotes, one TV and cable box, you should leave instructions. Had to watch Roku TV! No ice until the morning we checked out and the only firewood I could find was some burnt pieces in the pits. For $250/night could have been better!

Pros- beautiful area, easy parking, comfy bed Cons- no hot water, I had to turn on the water to get the toilet working, no water at bathroom sink ( I couldn’t figure out where to turn it on-unlike the toilet), kitchen sink didn’t drain, coffee pot was dirty, floor needed swept in the whole unit. It seemed like no one had stayed in the room in a long time, and it was just kind of neglected.

A good value. Comfortable, clean , good beds, towels, good wifi. Quaint and welcoming decor. Looks much better on the inside- a little weathered on the outside, but don’t let that put you off. It was surprisingly quiet situated next to the road, too. We had a wonderful dinner next door at Bonfire”. There are two other more casual dining options across the street on the lake, too. A good stay.
