Wow what a fantastic place to stay! It seems so boring to say the place was clean, and of course it…read morewas, but beyond that... Gigi is fantastic. We stayed in the king suite, and the claw foot tub is such a nice touch! Gigi is so attentive, offers snacks, wonderful conversation, and some really great breakfast. We would highly recommend this place. I'm not typically a b&b person, but after this stay I may be rethinking that personal choice. Thanks Gigi for such a wonderful stay!! Too many things to list... the bed was comfortable, the tub was amazing, the front porch with the sitting arrangement is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee, the history of the home, the bathrobe and slippers so comfy!

Gigi is a wellspring of knowledge about the area and went above and beyond to make sure it was a special experience for my wife's birthday weekend.

We've already recommended Fort Hemenway Manor to our families and I would say the same for anyone else looking for a place to stay in the area.

Garden Spot Inn For Downtown St. Maries…read more SITREP This is centrally located Inn smack in the middle of the Hamlet of St. Maries. DINING Our family has enjoyed a great breakfast / brunch on occasion as we travel from our Fountain Bay homestead to shopping and work spots in St. Maries. LODGING SETUP & CONVENIENCE However, the St. Maries Inn is in fact an "Inn", so it also has rooms one may rent: * On a temporary basis for a short term lodging visit as one would from any hotel / motel; but, * But the Inn also allows for longer tenancy for those wanting to take up longer tenancy as with an tenancy-at-will apartment scenario. As such, the Inn is conveniently located close to several eating establishments within walking distance (ie. Buds, Drive-Thru, etc.), close to coffee (Julian's Coffee Kiosk), and the main drag of St. Maries. HISTORIC The Inn is an older, established local structure and has significant history with the area that goes back a century. THE LOWDOWN A great place to get a bite to eat and to stay.

This place ain't The Ritz but it is your only option for miles and miles. Yesterday my daughter was…read moresuddenly starving and we decided to give this place a shot. We got their basic hamburger and fries. They were both FANTASTIC! The burger was more like a homemade hamburger, than what you'd get at a restaurant and nothing like any hamburger I've purchased for more than twice the cost. The fries were perfect: crisp but not dry. We were so impressed we got two more burgers that night. This time we upgraded to their "Babe" burger. This time we weren't starving but we enjoyed them just as much. This place is a great example of the good parts of North Idaho: nice people, surprisingly tasty food and just a little bit rough around the edges. My family and I will be stopping by whenever we're in the area.

The pie had a great taste with a fluffy airy texture, yet still creamy. The huckleberry flavor was subtle and not too too sweet, but just the right berry sweet. There were berries in every bite. Instead of the traditional meringue topping, it was whipped cream sprinkled with sugar crystals. It's worth noting, the crust was really yummy and softly crumbled with each bite. The pie to whipped topping to crust--all in all, I'm satisfied with the ratio and portion. I appreciate the majority of their baked goods are made in-house. I would get this pie again. For the month of June, the drink special is: Huckleberry Pink Lemonade ZipFizz (see picture).

This year my mom discovered Praeder Ranch Resort. It was the perfect location for us. There are several family members with campers; the resort offers tent, partial and full sites to accommodate everyone. There is a lodge with wonderful rooms for everyone else (where we stayed). There is an indoor pool, an outdoor pool and a huge hot tub. Also offered is a game room, a great library, a gym and outdoor activities such as shuffle board, volleyball, basketball, frisbee golf, etc. We found trails to walk around to get some outdoor exercise. The lodge is well maintained and very clean; my wife and I very much enjoyed the indoor pool and sauna. Jeff and Tracy were wonderful and took good care of the entire extended family that was there. It's a little out of the way, but worth the trip. We shall definitely be back.

Our weekend was great as always, but made better by Tracy and Jeff the hosts of the ranch. They were so accommodating and friendly. We all gathered at a camp spot for meals and fun. This ranch was perfect since some camped and some not. I highly recommend the ranch for a peaceful get away or a large gathering. They really need to get the word spread out about this place.
