8/10 Very good

Very nice location right next to the lake. Room was clean and comfortable, definitely a good spot to stay. Somewhat close to a lot of other cities and locations in Montana - makes a good home base. Locally run and not corporate makes it very appealing. Great stay.

while the room was very nice, the parking was not good to park a motorcycle. with the gravel and sloped surface, we could not park our bike safely. slow or no response from messages left on website, no onsite manager.

They arrange your room key code as soon as they confirm your reservation remotely, and you can check in at any time which is super convenient! They have a welcoming bar with great food across the street and a beautiful view of the lake which you can also see from some of the rooms. The room were very clean and comfortable as well.

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!

Blissful stay on the side of Flathead Lake

We had the Bali cabin which had two queen beds, bath, shower and a small kitchen and also a sitting room area with flat screen TV. After the horrors of staying in a cabin in Glacier National Park this was absolute bliss. Would definately stay here again

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!

Great for dogs!

The bathroom could have been cleaned a little better. The room was cute and the grounds are lovely. The room had enough space for my large dog crate.

Quaint motel located in Woods Bay. Room was clean and had nice amenities. No on site staff. We had booked through Hotels.com so needed to call the hotel number to figure out which room and how to get in.

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
