It's perfectly clean, everything is provided as advertised. It's just not shiny and new. The single thing that I really didn't like was the only sink was the "kitchen" sink. I struggle with the idea of using the restroom and then washing my hands in the same place I'm going to prepare food. I can't speak for all the cabins but that's how ours was. Not a deal breaker if you're trying to stay in the area and it meets your price point - just not ideal. Everything else was lovely.

After a fun day in Stanley and at Redfish Lake, this was the perfect spot to enjoy dinner for our big group of 25. The staff were amazing at accommodating us at short notice. The food came out fast and potions were generous. They were out of a few ingredients so some items from the menu were unavailable, but they were super nice about compensating with some free shakes. The mountain setting is gorgeous and we took lots of photos. I'm so glad we chose Smiley Creek. We'll be back!

The kids enjoyed having the upstairs loft to play their video games and watch movies, and they had fun with tether ball and the play set in the front yard. We had a campfire each night.

Luckily we had a variety of restaurants to pick from.

Our cabin was nestled right next to the river, overlooking gorgeous unbroken views of the surrounding valley and snow frosted Sawtooth mountains. At night there were millions of stars, so bright & big you felt like you could reach out and touch them. Our cabin was a delight. It was clean clean clean, brand new ultra comfy mattresses, with soft, fluffy linens complemented the rustic golden original pine walls, ceilings and decor. Intelligent planning blended the best of the old with the new. We loved having a well stocked little kitchen with all the necessary tools & equipment to help you feel comfortable if you wanted to cook. So enjoyed sitting on our personal deck, drinking the delicious coffee and nibbling on the chocolates they gave us, while watching the morning mist rise up off the river. It looked like a magical fairyland. The places to hike to were endless. We Loved the bird watching! We even hung out with a bald eagle while strolling along Redfish Lake. Highly recommend enjoying the brand new sauna. It gets HOT! Then if you're into cardiac arrest you can jump into the river or do the cold plunge barrel. The large middle cabin with its larger kitchen, rooms and spacious deck also overlooking the river, provided the perfect meeting center for our group (we varied from 10-18) to gather for meals, games and sharing the day's events. From beginning to end it was spectacular. Put this on your must do list! Thank you Levie and Stanley River Retreat for incredible experiences & memories we will treasure forever.

About an hour after I checked in, the power went out all over town. It was warm in Idaho, and I decided to go sit outside until the power came back on. That is where I got to chat with the owner. He confirmed my assumption that the building used to be an assisted living facility. That is why the building is off the main street, and the bathrooms and halls are so large. It is unbelievable that an assisted living facility went out of business. Overall, a great night at this hotel. The shower pressure was good, and plenty of hot water. The bed was comfortable. I had some issues with the TV but used my iPad to watch the news, etc. If I were back in the area, I would stay there again.

OMG, the horses were enormous. I had to get on a three foot high rock to reach the stirrup. Yeah yeah I'm short. Anyway the ride was great, scenery was drop-dead gorgeous, and the accommodations were perfect. Every day was different freshly cooked and delicious food.... and way too much too. Lunches and snacks were also provided. Thanks to the multi state fires the first few days were pretty smokey but the weather changed blowing it away. Saw deer, elk, a large cinnamon bear. This outfitter has it dialed in and I will be back. Thanks Jenni, Jerrod, Rick and Liona.

Jerrod, Jenni and Kathi were great from the beginning communicating everything needed for my hunt. They even worked with me when my friend backed out due to a health issue. Everyone was helpful and friendly when I showed up. My guide, Moses, was the best. A true professional, hardworking, knowledgeable, tireless, relentless but still friendly. Moses worked his butt off to get me in range a great deer and did most of the work caping and quartering afterwards. Moses took me farther and higher every day looking to put me on a good buck when the weather didn't cooperate. He tailored my hunt to my abilities and desire. Like hunting with a good friend, maybe better. Worth every dollar, especially when you consider out of state license/tag (without points or draw), lodging, food, horses and a top quality guide who knows the area. Not a hunt for your first hunt, the faint of heart or for someone in poor health. However, if you are looking to actually hunt trophy animals in some of the most beautiful and rugged country around, I believe White Cloud Outfitters delivers. The best people, hunting and country!
