Top Cottonwood Hotel Reviews

Steelhead Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Wonderful hotel. Helpful staff. Thank you!"

Cabin overlooking Salmon River south of White Bird - Family friendly + Starlink!

10/10 Excellent

"What fun it was to stay up high above the river to see all the mountains and hills around. House was charming, beds comfortable, kitchen well stocked, 2 lovely bathrooms, and room to roam inside and outside."

Charming Casita With Spectacular River Views

10/10 Excellent

"I can't say enough great things about our stay at this Charming Casita. The location is beautiful and amazing. I'm very picky and I can say the casita was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed to make meals while there. The beds were comfy. Linens and towels were great too. Communication with the host was easy and fast. While in Riggins, we had a fun fishing day with S&S Outfitters - very highly recommend.We will definitely be back to stay at this Casita."

Cozy Middle Fork Cabin. Across from Clearwater River

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place to stay. It is about 5 miles south of Kamiah. Much bigger than expected, very clean and well stocked with all cooking items. Internet worked well and had A/C. We would definitely stay there again or in their adjacent rental. Only downside is that it is right on the highway and although traffic noise can be loud at times it did not bother us too much. We were very impressed and no hesitation staying there again."

Reflections Inn

8/10 Good

"Reflections Inn was in a very lovely forested area acrosss the highway from the river. The grounds were beautifully maintained with a large nicely mowed lawn flanking the drive up to the lodge. Each room had a table and chairs outside for enjoying the evening or morning; whatever your preference. Our room had a very comfortable king sized bed, nicely appointed bathroom with everything you might need: hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and bar soap, and plenty of towels. Our coffee area had coffee, tea, suger and creamers but no cups. We had cups in the car so that was a very minor thing. The other guests were friendly and helpful, we were there with firefighters from Alabama. Our stay was so enjoyable and relaxing, I would have been happy to stay longer."

RiverView Lodge Saltwater Hot Tub and Starlink

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I had an amazing time. It was quiet and secluded which was exactly what we were looking for. With it just being the two of us the only thing I would recommend is make sure you bring storage containers or bags if you are planning on having left overs. With that being said the property was gorgeous."
