Loved the view of the Salmon River from the back porch , very peaceful . The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Right on Main Street so location was great. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic little Riverside hotel. Right next to Hot Springs and Redfish Lake. The scenery is beautiful and we love to hear the running water right outside our room.
The location is great. The view of the river is amazing. Nothing was spared in trying to make us feel comfortable in the unit. Overall I couldn't recommend it more highly.

The river view was fantastic in order to watch the jet boat races. This place was fully stocked and more. Nice touch with the basket of goodies, water & soda in the refrigerator. Walking distance to town. Love it!!!!
