Hotel is GREAT... Has some throwback looking items in it giving it a fun feel.... beds were very good, but the AC does blow on you which i personally dont like, but i did love how cold it was able to get the room as i sleep best in a cold room under warm covers. Rooms were VERY CLEAN which my wife and I loved... restaurants around the hotel were good food and we could take left overs all because our hotel had a fridge and a microwave. Very enjoyable stay.... Only issues were minor... bushes not trimmed so couldnt walk on all of the sidewalk because of that, and the road in front of the hotel is a bit rough. I would absolutely go there again and still give it a 4.7 / 5 if not a little higher....

Cozy, roomy, very clean, everything we needed for our stay. Reservations and check in were easy. About five miles south of Bigfork with a partial view of Flathead Lake. Area for an outdoor bonfire and firewood were available, although we didn’t partake. Would come back. Thanks

Poor stay and the Islander
We had trouble checking our code would not work. Poor response from hotel staff. She was actually across the street working in a bar. No office area. The grounds were terrible. Grass not mowed. Room was good accept for the loud ac unit.

What a pleasant surprise to find this inn, allowing us to enjoy the Bigfork Summer Playhouse and not have to drive back to Missoula that night. Loved the ease of check-in! Thank you!

We never received any information about checking in. No email, text,phone call. When we arrived there was no one in the office, no information about who to contact or how posted anywhere. Went to the bar across the hyway. They said try the next bar down the street she is usually there. found her at the bar. sounded put out about helping us said you got a email . Told never received any checking in information. Never got anything from the hotel. Big sigh ok so looked up our information on her phone and told me how to get into our room. Then I told there's another couple over by the office sitting in the 95 degrees heat for a while waiting for help also. She ask me for there name . I don't know what there name is just that they have been waiting for quite awhile for someone to show up. Then she sighed guess I better go over there. Tried email the owner from the info sheet later not a good email address . The good thing is the room is very nice ,clean and comfortable. The outside needs a good lawn care job and trash pickup.

Personalized Rooms
The hotel room felt more like a personalized space with warm feel to it. Only suggestion would be to add curtains on the front windows to block the car’s headlights and another layer of security on the front door. Staying as a single person I did not feel as safe. It had plenty of little touches and lots of towels. Didn’t need soap or hair soap. Great restaurant next door. Will definitely stay again!!

Clean & cozy room! It was nice being so close to restaurants and the lake. The outside of the hotel could use some maintenance (trim grass and new outside chairs) but other than that it was a good deal!
