We had a great stay in the loft over 4th of July. Hosts were great helping us set up boat rental pickup, and we watched fireworks from the back patio at night. The loft is close proximity to the bar next door, so be aware of potential late night live band on the holiday if you have early sleepers - we enjoyed listening from the patio.

This Inn is everything we didn't know we needed. It felt like a home away from home, the Inn is beautiful and the caretakers are very helpful, kind, and overall very engaging. The bay is a great place to swim, take the paddleboard out, or just put your feet in the water! Beds are extremely comfy!

This was our first time at a bed and breakfast type of Inn and we were pleasantly surprised!! The flowers right out in front are so beautiful and so well maintained! The house is even more beautiful and you can tell how much effort and detail goes into every piece! Love how there was live music right next door, we really enjoyed being able to walk right back to our room when we were done! We really enjoyed our stay, wish we could have stayed longer!

Booked this rather last minute for just one night to get out of town and beat the heat. What a gem. The perfect location, gorgeous room as well as the rest of the Inn. The deck is spacious with an amazing view of Big Fork Bay. Parking was easy even for our rather oversized truck. Right in the heart of downtown with easy access to all restaurants and shops. The hostess could not have been more helpful and friends. Breakfast Wes a wonderful assortments of fresh local fruit, eggs, cinnamon rolls, cereals etc. The bed was a dream with high end linens. War are looking forward to an extended stay next summer.

What a beautiful home and location! Lots of great breakfast food and access to a well stocked kitchen. We had a wonderful afternoon and evening on the lake with the stand-up paddle boards and floating chairs. The town has lively and yummy restaurant options and an art/crafts festival was taking place while we were there. There is a fantastic 4 mile round trip hiking trail just outside of the cute town that follows a lovely river and, beyond the dam, a lake hosting many birds. We were able to host local friends for a fun bbq (which needed a little support before we could use it, but the host was very diligent in helping with that effort) on the deck. The property manager and cleaning staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, taking every effort to address any requests and making our stay an outstanding experience The only thing that detracted from our visit (obviously not the responsibility of the host, but a definite risk in the summer) was heavy smoke from Spokane fires and other blazes in Montana and Canada that came on during our BBQ and resulted in an AQI of 236. We left a day early since things were projected to get worse. We would gladly return to spend more time in this fantastic Inn and lovely location!

It isn't really an Inn. It's more of a Bed and Breakfast, if they included breakfast- which means we had a bedroom with connecting bathroom in a very nice home on Bigfort Bay. We enjoyed our stay. Cute area with good restaurants and art nearby.

Beautiful house with deck overlooking the bay. The town has a lot of cute shops and the nearby restaurant, Wine and Whisky, was excellent. Be sure that you're in touch with the owner in advance of your stay to learn the access codes for the keypads and also make note of the name of the room you've selected.
