The Cottages at Bigfork

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the cottages and it was so well appointed. From the bath products to coffee, tea and local honey. It wa so nice to check in and be welcomed by a warm fire. It’s a special place and I wish we had more time to explore. The beds are comfortable too and it was spotless!"

KwaTaqNuk Resort & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"I liked our stay here. The view of the lake was nice and walking to the lake for the sunset and views was great! Went to the bar & grill and had wings and nachos with some drinks and it was great! Helpful & kind waitress. Room was clean, shower was great with the rain shower head, big restroom. Comfortable bed! Really enjoyed and would recommend this place over the Americas Best Value Inn next door as I stayed there as well. Wish I had stayed longer at this place!"

Americas Best Value Inn Polson

The Inn on Bigfork Bay

10/10 Excellent

"A very well-appointed B & B property with stunning views of the lake and wonderful amenities. However, check-in could have been easier (code OK, but don't forget * key in the client entrance advice). Also, the division of rooms and amenities was a bit confusing. Was everything available for use for all guests, or not? Caretaker couple, though, was top-notch -- informative, friendly, helpful. Plus, breakfast spread of goodies was primo! John M. Bainbridge Island, WA"

The Islander Inn
