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.

This place was nestled among trees, cabins, barns and a whole lotta nothing. Don't expect bathrooms or running water here. Just a pool with a gravel bottom with wooden railings + wooden steps to walk in. Reservations are made online here and offer them in 2 hour time blocks at $20 per person. Once we got inside to the check in desk, there was no one to be found. Perhaps this place is based on the honor system? If that's the case then this must be an Idaho thing. During our entire time here, I don't believe we saw a single employee. Just people like us in the pools. There was a small dressing room with dim lighting for you to change in. If you're looking for a spot to put your things, feel free to plant them on the benches surrounding the pool. Bare bones here is how I would describe it. Minus all the luxury amenities, here's what you do get: A true rustic country experience soaking in mineral water that does make your body feel absolutely amazing. The larger pool is between 100-113°F depending on where you are located. This is where I stayed because I couldn't handle any hotter than this. If you go up to the top 2 enclosed pools, those are at a steady 113°F . Nope, not for me. I wasn't about getting cooked. There is a cute little tub located a few feet away from the large pool that is fed by a pipe. This is the least hot of all the pools and just a fun thing to do for pics. We fit 2 of us in there and we were just fine. 3 would be pushing it. Would I come back? Yes if I'm ever out in the middle of Idaho.

Little did we know that was the only "great" of the evening. Water and menu's arrived after 10 minutes. "Server will be with you". Ha! Another 10 minutes. Caught the water guy again and asked for the wine menu. Leaves, see him consult with bar tender. Comes back and says it is in the back of menu he gave us. We say, "No, this only has wine by the glass. We are looking for "bottles". He scurries around looking at menus on other tables and then back for more consultation with bar tender. All the while I see what I think is the wine menu standing up at the end of the bar. Just as I am getting ready to go get what I think is the menu, it appears. And then the long lost server appears. We ask for a glass of rose for me and a bottle of Grgich Merlot for my husband and for dinner. He returns with glass of rose and a glass of red wine. "No, we want a bottle", we say and point to menu. More time elapses, he returns and says, "no Grgich". We had planned a back up and asked for a bottle of Walla Walla Tempernillo. Again point to menu. He disappears again, even more time elapses, and he returns with a bottle of Cabernet from the bar. So, at this point we surrender, deciding he doesn't know where the wine cellar is located, and accept the bottle. Wait. The saga continues: server returns and asks about dinner. We order. He disappears for another 5 minutes. Returns with his order pad and asks again what we would like for dinner. We order again. He appears to write order down. Salad comes. We finish it. Time elapsed. Kitchen server arrives with husband's entree. Places it between us. Bad sign. Another long wait. I tell Phil to go ahead and eat. Flag different server and ask about my entree. Original server reappears. He asks surprised. Hurries off. Time elapsed. Kitchen server arrived with another of husband's entree not mine! "No, we say we ordered steak and fries." Phil finishes his meal. Time elapsed. Finally, my steak arrives. All this time original server walks by and makes no eye contact. Bar tender comes by to clean table and offer a take away box. We decide against dessert and ask for bill. Husband goes to bar to pay bill, consults with bar tender and he goes and gets the manager. Manager excuses. Goes away and returns with new bill that removes glasses of wine and reduces entrees by 50%. The end of our fine dining experience. Laugh ourselves silly all the way to the car. Recommendations: 1. Don't plan a birthday dinner on Monday during the shoulder season at Shore Lodge 2. Just go to Salmon River Brewing Company.

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 sheets had debris on them and stains all over them. Then as you can see in the pictures that same bed was damaged and my 80 year-old mother fell through the bed and had some back and neck problems and a major headache that I had to take her to the emergency room that same night. There was no hot water. The lady came in to check the hot water and turned the breaker off and did not tell us that she had turned the hot water breaker off. I had to boil water on the stove, just to get some hot water to take a shower. We had came home one night and it was 90° in the house because the heater had kicked on not sure why you need a heater when it was already over 80° outside. Horrible horrible horrible experience horrible people. Beds felt like they were 30 years. Old. Literal prison mattresses for the bed sheets were rough as could be. If I could give negative negative negative stars I would do it in a heartbeat. These people are horrible. Please do not ever rent from them. So this is in response to Molly the customer service rep that just commented on my review. Don't you think that a credit would be appropriate concerning the fact of all the horrible things we had to endure while we stayed you literally just said that the bedroom was removed and all these other things were done to prevent this from happening again but yet we're out $506 And had a horrible horrible experience. So if you're really wanting to make it right, maybe a refund would be so much better thank you.

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!

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.
