"The lady was very courteous in inviting me in and taking my information. Parking was easy. When I was on my way to the room she brought me a little gift bag of goodies. The rooms were clean and quiet. This is an economy hotel so the five stars is for excellence in what you would expect to get for that price."

Cozy Middle Fork Cabin. Across from Clearwater River

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice place to stay. It is about 5 miles south of Kamiah. Much bigger than expected, very clean and well stocked with all cooking items. Internet worked well and had A/C. We would definitely stay there again or in their adjacent rental. Only downside is that it is right on the highway and although traffic noise can be loud at times it did not bother us too much. We were very impressed and no hesitation staying there again."

"An absolute gem of a cabin! It was super clean, and the incredibly comfortable beds let us get some much-needed sleep. I work a high-stress job, and this was the perfect place to unwind and slow down. Sitting on the patio with a cup of tea watching the ducks float by each morning and evening was pure bliss. My husband and I first discovered Kooskia on our honeymoon 36 years ago, and we are so thankful we found this cabin on our latest trip back. We will definitely be renting again!"

Reflections Inn

8/10 Good
"Reflections Inn was in a very lovely forested area acrosss the highway from the river. The grounds were beautifully maintained with a large nicely mowed lawn flanking the drive up to the lodge. Each room had a table and chairs outside for enjoying the evening or morning; whatever your preference. Our room had a very comfortable king sized bed, nicely appointed bathroom with everything you might need: hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and bar soap, and plenty of towels. Our coffee area had coffee, tea, suger and creamers but no cups. We had cups in the car so that was a very minor thing. The other guests were friendly and helpful, we were there with firefighters from Alabama. Our stay was so enjoyable and relaxing, I would have been happy to stay longer."
