    No dislikes at all

    Log cabin style construction on the Salmon River. No cell phone reception but has strong wifi. The balcony invites you to sit down with coffee, relax and take in the view. Very clean room and comfortable bed. Great location along the scenic bi-way. Yes, I will make plans to return to River's Fork Lodge and explore this photographic and historic area.

    The ONLY thing I can think of is, I wish there was another restaurant to choose from. We stayed a few days and for every meal we went to this same restaurant as this place is pretty remote....good thing they served more than just pizza.

    Everything!!! A nice quaint place, we LOVED that it was right on the river. Can't beat listening to the water all day and watching the wildlife. Right off the bat we noticed that the TV didn't work so we messaged the manager, thought we were going to have to suffer without a TV for a half a day or so but boy were we wrong! :) He responded so quick and he was so friendly and nice to talk to. We went to the Pizza place next door and it was really good too.

    Noisy water pipes in the building, can hear when other rooms are using water. Had some spider activity in the room.

    I wish one room was dog friendly. If so we would stay here twice a year on our annual pilgrimage from MT to AZ.

    We left the windows open and listened to the Salmon River all night. The room was clean and well equipped with a Keurig. Perfect for coffee on our deck. Beds super comfy. Staff so kind. We will definitely return.

    Store staff weren’t the friendliest. The guy in charge was cool and helpful though. Bummer that the coffee maker and tv didn’t work in the single room.

    Location, thoughtfulness of so many details, including bug spray, having a patio overlooking the river, pickle ball court, games, puzzles, store right next door, plenty of parking,

    Beautiful setting with the river right outside. Cozy rustic room.

    This is a very nice lodge in a very remote area. It sits where the North Fork of the Salmon joins the Salmon. Beautiful views Not a lot of choices for restaurants and other hotels in the area. But there is a very nice general store next door with everything you need. Everything is relative, this is the best accommodations for miles.

    There was no hot or fresh food available at the lodge. Had to go to gas station nearby. If we had known this before arriving. We could have planned better.

    Occupant in room above mine woke me at 615 AM with noise. Not the fault of the hotel.

    Small hotel truly in the middle of nowhere. Porches from rooms overlook the Salmon River. Hotel staff was exceedingly helpful and flexible.

    We could hear every movement and word of neighbours above which was a little disturbing but not enough to ruin our stay. We will book an upper lodge next time.

    Beautiful setting and excellent host. Porter was very attentive to our needs. Loved the offer of ice buckets for our beers which we could take to sit near the river. Bedding, room etc were wonderful. We would love to return when we had more time to enjoy the river and paddle board hire etc

    Had a little difficulty identifying the area to check in. They are remodeling check-in area, will be great once finished. Planning on having refreshments and other items available on site.

    Ideal location for bird watching. Excellent soundproofing.: although right off hwy, did not hear traffic. Balcony or deck for every room overlooking the main Salmon. Very comfortable beds and bedding. Nice Keurig coffee maker and pods provided, great size small refrigerator, good microwave, good air conditioning.
