Marshall lake and Burgdorf hot springs are all worth the trip.Hosts are wonderful. Hope to return again. ##### Belinda N. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terrell C. Aug 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### \-French Creek Inn French Creek Inn was a most pleasant stay. With the Salmon River across the road and French Creek to our side, it was relaxing and comfortable. The owners were A+ in all details, and comfort. I have been coming to the Salmon River for 35 years plus to camp. gold prospecting, hiking, hunting, river raft, jet boat and as always when leaving I need to come back. The cabin had all the necessities. very peaceful. Will hopefully re-schedule another visit to French Creek Inn in 2024 for at least 1-2 weeks. You want to relax come visit the Salmon River country. ##### Terrell C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Belinda N. Sep 22, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful relaxing setting The cabin was fantastic. Fully stocked with everything you need and in the most amazing setting, right on French creek! You lay in bed at night and listen to the creek. Sat in the sauna overlooking the creek after a long day of riding ATV's. The Salmon river is just a few steps away. The steelhead fishing was great and lots of fun to watch the rafters and jet boats. The area has so much to do and explore! Already planning on when we can return! ##### Belinda N.
