Top Stanley Hotel Reviews

Mountain Village Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We had a restful couple of days at this lodge. The view was amazing, the hot springs were inviting, the beds were comfortable and there was an assortment of restaurants within walking distance where the food was plentiful and delicious. The only downside were the toilets that were low to the ground so it was difficult for those of us with bad backs/knees to use the facilities comfortably. Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience."

Stanley/Sawtooth Scenic Sweet Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Michelle, the host was wonderfull!! We were going to be in Stanley a day ahead of time and we reached out to her and was able to get us in a day early. While we were there for 4 days for our son's wedding, we hit a small elk and our car was not driveable back home. She was great and understanding of our situation. We kept her informed and was great about everything! If you want a Great place to stay in town of Stanley, it's on a deadend street, this is the place to choose! She has it decorated nicely, the beds are very comfortable, it's very clean and a cute place to stay. The best thing was the view of sawtooth mountains and meadows! Michelle went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be! Thanks again for all your understanding! If we ever get to Stanley again, we will be definately be staying here!"

Sawtooth Mountains-Stanley, Idaho! Beautiful Sawtooth Views!

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful stay!!! From the beginning communications to the final check-out, this was without doubt one of the best places we've ever stayed! The home was very clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, and there was plenty of space for our group to spread out. And, of course, the view was absolutely beautiful! We appreciated all the little extras like shampoo, etc in the bathrooms, throw blankets, and facial tissues. A all around! We would love to stay in this home again!!"
