This was a sweet little spot along the river about 10 miles from Riggins. I don’t know that I’m overly sensitive to odors, but the lemon clean smell in the room was a bit overpowering for me typically Clean doesn’t have a smell.

This is a small lodge (9 rooms) on the banks of the Salmon River. All of the rooms have a river view. They’ve also been very tastefully renovated. I didn’t expect it to be as nice as it was. Needless to say, I was very pleased.

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.

The best place in Riggons/Lucile you can stay at

After we checked in and saw how detail oriented the room was and so cute we were so sad we only had 1 night there. In every category they exceed expectations! Margaret and Jeff were so helpful! We'll definitely be back

I have stayed at the Steelhead Inn a number of times. I love that the owners are so welcoming and friendly. They are remodeling the whole facility so it wasn’t quite as tidy as it has been in the past. I was not bothered by that as I see great things in their future. The property is right on the river and close to the road making access a breeze. Rooms are quiet, large and well situated. After settling in we drove to Riggins for dinner, which is the closest town at about 14 miles. I will stay there again.

Doug was amazing! He will be missed I am sure. Room 2 with a balcony has been updated and beautiful. Very comfortable! If you are looking for a hotel to come and netflix and chill, this is not the place! Internet is slow speed so does not have great band width. It does have a Smart TV to hook up to your laptop but again the buffering is a drag. Do you want a place to enjoy the outdoors on the Salmon River right out the door? Do you want to enjoy a nice outdoor BBQ with your family and play games or sit by a fire and chat? This is your place. Yes its right off a busy highway and you are in a little valley so there is a echo of the big rigs coming through. But It did not keep us awake and the view was worth it. It is 14 Miles ish to Riggins or White bird where there is dining and small shops. Riggins has a few thrift stores and a small grocery store. If you want to unplug and just take in the fresh air in a cozy cabin feel Steelhead Inn is the place. This place also has a very cute kitchen for all to use with everything you need including a big family kitchen table to sit and play cards and eat a meal. It does not have a big breakfast, but they do provide coffee in the rooms with Keurig or in the Kitchen you can make a big pot or 2 and they provide the supplies. They do put out packages of instant oatmeal and some granola bars complimentary! Thank u Steelhead Inn

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

Liked everything about this place. We will be coming back again and often. Only thing that would be nice are coat hooks on the wall next to door, and a mini fridge for personal items. Love the kitchen and next time we come we will utilize the kitchen. Great place overall.

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.
