What guests think
At Sourdough Lodge, travelers describe a rustic, remote mountain stop with very friendly, accommodating staff, compact rooms, and an on-site diner and store that make it a practical base for exploring nearby hot springs and the Sawtooth area.
Many note clean rooms and comfortable basics, though recurring critiques cite pet hair, dust build-up, and occasional bathroom maintenance lapses. Rooms are typically very small, some lack air conditioning and can run warm, and Wi-Fi or TV access can be unreliable, while showers often have strong water pressure. Most guests enjoy tasty, hearty meals and big breakfasts, but hours can be limited and the restaurant may close early or be closed on some days. Expect a simple, no-frills stay with friendly service and practical amenities.

The staff was super nice and for there not being much in the area to stay it it worked great. They have a restaurant attached and it was delicious. The only thing is that you have to get there by 7 because the store nd restaurant close so then you can get your key but overall it was a fantastic place.

Cute place tucked into the mountains with attached diner, grocery, and fuel. Small rooms, but clean with a good mattress. (Hmm. No tissue.) Coffee maker, microwave, fridge, TV. Internet depends upon proximity to the office.

This is a great, inexpensive place to stay with a restaurant, store, and gas all at the same location. They even have real ice cream milk shakes! If you are planning a trip to stay for a few days -- maybe visiting the hot springs in the area -- or just passing through (like me) -- definitely consider staying here.

There was no view of anything other than the dry mountian. The coffee pot didn't work. Big spider's running around the bathroom. The store light was on all night. No air or even a fan to move the air. The restaurant food made us sick from all the old grease it was cooked in. Prices were really high on everything.

Nice room, with "woodsy" decorating, clean, but very small. Lovely setting in the mountains, so not much in the area. Good restaurant right at the lodge, but they have limited hours apparently due to staffing issues. Closed at 6:30 pm, didn't open til 9 am the next morning. There was a coffee maker in the room.

I spent a couple of nights here while hiking in the Sawtooth Wilderness. This place is not hard to find; a restaurant and gas station are on the premises. I recommend it for anyone looking to spend time in the area.

We liked that the convenience store was on location. They also had kitchen utensils available in the cabins. It was also nice having our own space. Only a couple of downsides. While we were there they didn't have any TV available. Also the electric fireplace wasn't working. The internet was very spotty and we had to be close to the convenience store to get signal. Lastly, the shower was very small. Definitely meant for one person at a time.

Just the right amount of off the grid, 1.5 hours from cell coverage, but Wifi throughout the property, if needed. Many amazing hot springs close by and short walks from parking areas, and some a good hike to the reward. The Food in the lodge was hearty, well prepared and very tasty. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were all good!

Great little property about 10 mins North of the town of Lowman, ID. Ideal if you're heading to Stanley or driving the scenic byway Route 21. Rooms are smaller and slightly older, but super clean and well kept. There's an attached restaurant and general store that you can grab a bite at. But keep in mind that they shut by 7:30pm. Overall super convenient and great experience!

The lodge is in a spectacular setting, easy access to the mts and river. The dinner at the restaurant was very good, staff super friendly and prices were reasonable. The bath and beds were super clean...I just happen to misplace an earring and looked under the bed. Yikes. If that got cleaned up, 5 stars for cleanliness!

In einem Bett gab es unter der Tagesdecke kein Bettlaken und das Bettlaken auf der Matratze hatte viele Flecken. In dem zweiten Bett waren noch lange Haare der letzten Gäste. Die Unterkunft kann man als einfache, hellhörige Bretterbude bezeichnen, die für die gebotene Leistung deutlich zu teuer ist.

Perfect place to stay when traveling as long as you aren’t too high maintenance. The rooms were a little dated but clean enough for me (I’m a Hampton Inn and up kind of person!). Only complaint is no A/C- could be a little more upfront about that but I imagine it does not get terribly hot in the area and we were thankful for the fan provided. The floors could use a little more mopping but otherwise it was perfect for us. What made it amazing was the convenient location, the quietness, and most importantly the friendly owners and staff! I would come back to visit and you definitely have to have their breakfast!

Nice location with access to places we wanted to visit. Unfortunately we were there during a heat wave in the summer and soon found out there is no A/C. And to make matters worse we had smokers parked outside our window contaminating the fresh air we were trying to make use of. The staff turned us onto a great bar with live music down the road.

Rooms could've been a little better maintained but it is in the middle of the mountains! It was a small space but perfect for our midway overnight stay. The staff were excellent! We temporarily misplaced our key.... this place is not manned after 7pm....i called, left a VM, sent an email, and a virtual chat.... anything to try and reach someone to help us get into our room... we had resolved to sleeping in the car. Then we had not 1, but 2 people show up to check on us! It was 9pm. The shower pressure was amazing and the attached restaurant was perfect to start our day the next morning.

I wasn’t expecting much, but was very disappointed when my room smelled like old cigarettes. The walls were very thin. Which was only a problem in the morning when the neighbor children started screaming with glee early in the morning. Problem, resolved after I started playing my music to show how thin the walls were. Family got the message. I hope your neighbors are equally considerate.

We enjoyed our stay at Sourdough Lodge, they were very accommodating when we called because we had flight delays that made it so we weren’t going to be there until after midnight. The food at the lodge was very good and the staff was great about letting us know about things to do in the area. The location wasn’t bad, we were traveling to Stanley and Redfish each day and it wasn’t too far from both. Our room was clean and comfortable, the shower was great, stayed warm and water pressure was great. We will stay again if we visit Idaho again.

Fans, blinds, ledges all had an inch of dust and grime on them. We left a few days early and were told they would refund us for leaving early. Then they deciced not to refund less thab 1 hour later. These are shady ppl. They are lucky its the only place to stay within 1 hour.

Room very clean but small and no AC. Walls thin could hear folks and tv next door. Ordered 2 meals in restaurant to go. I was standing by counter with view of kitchen. Cook worked 1 ticket at a time. 20 minutes before he started ours. 10 minutes later he pulled orders from frier and turned to set on kitchen counter while joking with waitress. Fry basket dropped on floor. Picked basket up and started to re cook about half the order. I canceled the order. Brought to attention of the guy at front desk. Shrugged his shoulders and said sorry and went to help other customers. Since this is only place in 20/30 miles we went to bed hungry after a day of driving. Reservations for 2 nights, but we left the next morning.

The location wasn’t bad, we were traveling to Stanley and Redfish each day and it wasn’t too far from both. Our room was clean and comfortable, the shower was great, stayed warm and water pressure was great. We will stay again if we visit Idaho again.

I spent a couple of nights here while hiking in the Sawtooth Wilderness. This place is not hard to find; a restaurant and gas station are on the premises. I recommend it for anyone looking to spend time in the area.

Hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere. Was told it was close to our event we had planned for the weekend by Expedia but was twice as far as they said on a dangerous road to travel at night

Great little property about 10 mins North of the town of Lowman, ID. Ideal if you're heading to Stanley or driving the scenic byway Route 21. Rooms are smaller and slightly older, but super clean and well kept. There's an attached restaurant and general store that you can grab a bite at. But keep in mind that they shut by 7:30pm. Overall super convenient and great experience!

There was no view of anything other than the dry mountian. The coffee pot didn't work. Big spider's running around the bathroom. The store light was on all night. No air or even a fan to move the air. The restaurant food made us sick from all the old grease it was cooked in. Prices were really high on everything.

Nice room, with "woodsy" decorating, clean, but very small. Lovely setting in the mountains, so not much in the area. Good restaurant right at the lodge, but they have limited hours apparently due to staffing issues. Closed at 6:30 pm, didn't open til 9 am the next morning. There was a coffee maker in the room.

Room very clean but small and no AC. Walls thin could hear folks and tv next door. Ordered 2 meals in restaurant to go. I was standing by counter with view of kitchen. Cook worked 1 ticket at a time. 20 minutes before he started ours. 10 minutes later he pulled orders from frier and turned to set on kitchen counter while joking with waitress. Fry basket dropped on floor. Picked basket up and started to re cook about half the order. I canceled the order. Brought to attention of the guy at front desk. Shrugged his shoulders and said sorry and went to help other customers. Since this is only place in 20/30 miles we went to bed hungry after a day of driving. Reservations for 2 nights, but we left the next morning.

The cabin was cute. There was leftover coffee and food in the freezer. Bathroom was very small. The advertised restaurant was closed. The small store was not well stocked and it was a ways to any other facilities.

The room was ok… beds were comfortable. Quiet - air conditioner was adequate, ran it continuously- old unit - Cafe didn’t open until 9 am - so if you wanted to get an early start to your day - better bring your own morning breakfast snacks -

Just the right amount of off the grid, 1.5 hours from cell coverage, but Wifi throughout the property, if needed. Many amazing hot springs close by and short walks from parking areas, and some a good hike to the reward. The Food in the lodge was hearty, well prepared and very tasty. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were all good!
