Great one for Flathead Lake!
Very nice place with private jetted hot tub in the room, roku tv, good wifi, kitchen utensils (even if we don’t use them but will be useful for those who plan to cook), and easy access to the lake with nice breakfast included.

Overrated!
The owners must have submitted the positive ratings themselves because there is no way one could call this property clean or well maintained. It is dirty, dingy, poorly equipped, near zero communication from management. They lied about a free breakfast, the restaurant wasn’t open. It did have a bed and a shower, so I had to give it one star. Make sure you have slippers because you wouldn’t want to put your bare feet on the floor.

Adequate and overrated. It’s like a Motel6 experience, but without adequate parking and functioning blinds. Lots of on premise activities that were illegal just a few years back if you get my meaning.

Room was fine, clean, quaint and easy check in. Could not figure out how Spectrum worked. When you click the Spectrum app it would ask for a password. 2 remotes, one TV and cable box, you should leave instructions. Had to watch Roku TV! No ice until the morning we checked out and the only firewood I could find was some burnt pieces in the pits. For $250/night could have been better!

Automatic locking system failed us. Was able to enter the code giving and it worked once. Fortunately my spouse was inside when I tested lock mechanism by touching the lock button and from there on the code would not allow it to unlock. We were not able to leave to enjoy a nearby restaurant for food and drinks, only if we packed everything by in the vehicle and leave the room unlocked. The individual that was there monitoring the establishment was an idiot that was no help. Number at the so called desk area was called but no responding. The room was comfortable and cozy for a night stay. I hope someone contacts whom ever owns this place to inform them of our issue so it doesn’t happen to someone else moving forward

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!
