The beautiful entrance
Shannon Y.

Can we all just ask why the beauty of nature is being cut off by the hideous fencing??? This place knocks it out of the park with the service, the lounge area, the design. It's sooooo cozy! But that fence?!?! What are we thinking. Owners, let's bring this incredible place up to the next level and knock these walls down. There's plenty of options to keep the pool fenced in with an open view. There are plenty of contractors in the surrounding area that can support an upgrade! I'm only giving 3 stars out of 5 bc of the fencing. You deserve a 5! Hear my picket... KNOCK DOWN THE FENCE!!! KNOCK DOWN THE FENCE!! Haha!

Hot pool.

We had really high hopes for this place after hearing about it from friends. Walking in, the place is old but cute. There's a game room for the kids and pool tables and picnic benches. The staff is incredibly friendly. But the first thing we noticed was that there were no showers available to rinse off before and after getting out of the pools. Apparently there were some in the back pool area but they were closed off and unavailable for use. It started off good upon entering the hot pool. It's only about 2 feet deep and quite warm but felt great on a cold, snowy winter day . It was so hot we could only soak for a few minutes at a time, so we would then get into the larger swimming pool. Upon first entering the larger pool, I couldn't help but notice all the green algae bits and wads of hair floating in the water. I didn't think much of it at first until I started swimming towards the deeper end of the pool. That's when things really started to go downhill. I couldn't help but notice all the thick, green algae that coated the walls and bottom of the pool. It was actually disgusting. You couldn't touch the walls with your hands or feet because the slime was so thick. We quickly realized it probably wasn't a good idea to go underwater or even stick our face in the water. I wouldn't even venture a guess as to how long it had been since the larger pool had been cleaned. Both of the pools were quite worn and pitted too. We enjoyed our time there for the most part, but most likely will not return simply because the larger pool was just that bad.

Place is dope, hot springs are super big. Very hot tub then large warm pool with a basketball hoop. Would recommend

We spent a wonderful evening at the hot springs, and stayed the night in the campground out front. Everything was beautiful.

I can only review the swings, not the accommodations…read more Making a reservation on the website was very easy, and we did it the same day. Check-in was very smooth and easy. The springs were naturally stunning. The pool is large, and I appreciated the gravel bottom! There are two small pools with hotter water, should you want to soak in them. We went in the middle of June during the day, so it was warm, not squelching, but warm enough that the main pool temperature was warm enough. There is a vintage bathtub that sits below the main pool and is filled and recirculated by the water draining from the main pool. This water then feeds into a stream, which joins the river. Sitting in that bathtub with the view of the little creek has become a core memory! I would love to see this place in every season! Truly feels like a place pulled from 1800s Bavaria. This is a true outback experience, no showers, no modern bathrooms. These are well-maintained and equiped built in porta potties, with locker rooms for changing.

We made the…read moremost of our stay with a celebration dinner at The Narrows Steakhouse and massages at The Cove Spa. Our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. First the lodge itself: It is an expansive property with so many amenities on site, it truly feels like a resort. Pickleball courts, cruiser bikes, a heated outdoor pool and large hot tubs, a cozy atmospheric bar, upscale steakhouse, casual restaurant, and coffee bar all with panoramic views of the lake. The Cove Spa was exceptional and so very relaxing. We loved our couple's massage and spent the next two hours soaking in the indoor and outdoor saltwater pools while sipping hot tea. The staff and level of service provided are what truly sets Shore Lodge apart. As soon as we arrived we were warmly greeted by multiple staff members with complimentary valet service and a glass of wine at check-in. A cheese platter and celebratory champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries awaited us in our room. The lodge also provides prompt, free shuttle services to and from downtown McCall which we used many times during our stay, never waiting longer than 5 minutes for a pick-up or drop-off. Every staff member, from the valet to the bar, the front desk, the spa, the boutique, the steakhouse, the shuttle service, went above and beyond to ensure we had the wonderful stay we did. They were kind, accommodating, enthusiastic and sincere in all of our interactions. I commend them immensely and we eagerly await our next visit to Shore Lodge!!

The burbling stream next to the apartment provided such a relaxing sound with the windows open at night to enjoy the cool mountain air. The apartment was well furnished with everything that I needed for my stay. The bed was comfortable and the wifi was fast! My only wish was for a small window AC unit that could offset the hot summer heat, but that was only for about 4 hours in the afternoon. Mornings and evenings were wonderful cross breezes. Thanks for opening your fantastic place to us adventurers!

I am looking to recover more of my costs as this was a horrible experience. -Propane heater not working on one floor of the house -Bags of garbage, empty liquor bottles and cans, cardboard from the previous guests left on the porch for our entire stay -Mouse droppings throughout the house, mouse traps under the beds, sofas and in kitchen -Outdated tvs not allowing us to cast our apps from our phone to the tvs -Hot tub jets not working, heated pool not heated -Limited kitchen utensils available to cook a meal. We were forced to buy our own utensils -No shovel was provided in the mountains of Vermont. It snowed for the two days we were visiting leaving an additional 4 inches of snow in the driveway -Extremely poor customer service. Delayed response time and not accommodating -Fees were allegedly more than the price per night. We were provided a 25% refund which was named as standard for any complaint. This amount is not equal to the terrible experience we had at the property. -Customer service cutting us off during the conversation and avoiding questions. -Spoke with manager Tala, and supervisor Joann left a voicemail stating they do not want to help us any further. We did not get even close tot the value of what we paid. And staying in a house with cleanliness issues, health issues (no heat and mouse feces) deserves more attention from customer service to ensure their customers are satisfied.

The Elkhorn B&B has, if anything, gotten even better since my last visit. Debra, the…read moreowner/innkeeper, has expanded her flock of goats and now is mastering the art of goat cheese and milk-making, selling her creative chevre combinations at local farmers' markets and offering advice to would-be artisan farmers (or wannabes) along with her signature ranch house breakfasts (think fresh eggs, hash browns, melon, sausage, and excellent dark rich coffee). She's also a fountain of knowledge and great conversationalist, and her elegant ranch home quickly feels familiar within the first few minutes of arrival (once you open the gate and bounce along the gravel driveway to the barnside parking). This time, I decided to get creative and took a sunrise hike before breakfast to the summit of nearby Council Mountain (8126 ft.) in the Payette National Forest. Admittedly, it was a bit of an adventure, with fallen Ponderosa pines (the good Samaritans have chainsaws in their trucks up here), black bear cubs, a great grey owl, kestrels, and a herd of free-ranging cattle, and I didn't get back until 11:30 am, so my breakfast was an early lunch. But the chance to see the mountains from an exquisitely rugged vantage point made the 12-mile morning trek worth the effort. The food and company that Debra provided after were most welcome. You don't actually need to do a hike like that to have a good stay at the Elkhorn (or bring along French wine to drink on the patio while watching the lightning and rains come in at night). You could just hang out for a while and soak in the hip ranchhouse atmosphere while goats, horses, sheep, mules, chickens, dogs, and other creatures wander about. It's definitely a pioneering sort of place - a 21st century version of a Western American classic, with WiFi and goat cheese included.

What a wonderful experience, Debra made us feel right at home with a warm welcome!

The road gets pretty windy once you hit Copperfield, but the views of Hells Canyon and Snake River are worth it! There are quite a few pull-outs to stop and take pics. We also passed numerous campground and picnic options. We enjoyed driving over the dam and taking pictures from both sides. Such beautiful views! If you follow the road to the end, passed the dam about 0.5 mile, you come across the visitors center. It was closed when we arrived, but we did enjoy watching the rafters and kayakers from the back deck. Would highly recommend a visit!

To access the dam, you pick up Hells Canyon Road at Copperfield (if coming from the Oregon side) and snake your way up along the Hells Canyon Reservoir for about half an hour. It's a scenic drive that offers plenty of places to pull off and swim, and quite a few trailheads for hikes up into the Idaho side of the canyon. The route takes you along the base of some very steep cliffs and overhangs, and you can tell by the dents in the blacktop that there are often rockfalls along here. My wife was white-knuckling it during most of the ride out. The dam itself is nothing too spectacular, but it does sit in a very scenic spot on the river. Once you cross the dam, the road ends in a boat launch, and this is where the adventure begins. Here you can put in for kayaking, rafting and drift-boat floats down the canyon. Fishing abounds. The dam itself has a little visitor's center with historical photographs and a couple of Idaho Power employees who can answer questions. We were able to get some good info on road quality for our forthcoming drive up the forest service roads into the Wallowas. Super helpful! If you're not floating or fishing or otherwise using the recreation side of the river, there's not a whole lot to do here other than learn about the dam and take in some pretty scenic views from the canyon floor. It's almost more about the views on the drive in. And you'll be seeing them again on the drive out, as there's nowhere to go from here but back the way you came.
