Was satisfied with the stay. Owners are very friendly. Location is off the highway and right next to the river. They have a pavilion and bbq with gas and charcoal. They have chairs and stocked fire pits outside. Trails leading to the river. Very beautiful nights because the stars are bright and sound of the river is relaxing. I enjoyed my time there

Jeff and Barb are great hosts - friendly, accessible, and the Steelhead Lodge is a great location! We enjoyed the room and the 24/7 common area. The sights and sounds on the river were fabulous! Lots of game to watch and places to just chill by the water. Loved it and plan to be back in a couple months!

The Steelhead Lodge is great and is right on the banks of the Salmon River. Although the property is rural with no city amenities, there is a kitchen with snacks, coffee and tea which is open 24/7. This area also has a dining table, many books, and magazines providing insight to the local history. This would be a great place for a family reunion, with many recreational opportunities immediately surrounding and within the property.

Excellent. Charming. We’ll return.

This exceeded our expectations so much. I cannot speak highly enough about the rooms and the quaint size of the lodge and the lovely couple manage the property. Amazing situation on the Salmon River. A well equipped, shared kitchen and library and sitting outside. We will be back. So happy we found this place.

Awesome property. Jeff was a terrific property host. Gorgeous views. I would stay here again. There are bugs, water on the bathroom floor, and the air conditioning struggles to keep up when temperatures are in the 90s, but these are all understandable for a lodge experience.

Super cute inn. Big rooms, cute decor and dog friendly. We used the fully stocked kitchen to make breakfast and loved sitting in the gazebo over looking the river. Bed were comfortable! The only think I would add is conditioner and maybe more pillows on the bed. There is a keurig in the room and large coffee pot maker in the kitchen. It was close to jer boat tours. We will stay here again.
