This motel and the location gives the most fantastic view of the bay and the lake anytime day or night. Just a few miles from downtown you drive along the shore line before a short climb up to the motel. Bike path runs next to the main road, a supper club w/ excellant food, easy access to the water, and french doors on the room to open up to feel the cool breeze and smell of the fresh air from the lake or sit on the boardwalk in front of your room. The staff are very polite, the room was very clean, lots of trees, shade and quiet surroundings. Natural spring water so cold and taste so good to drink from the faucet in your room along with hot water that last through your shower time. This is a 5 star 10.0 rating motel you won 't ever pass by during your traveling adventures through Idaho

I couldn't stay another night

Second time staying at the property and it's a hidden gem. The family who runs the hotel does everything they can to make your stay as nice as possible. They do have a hands off approach to your stay, so if you need service, you just need to ask! It is old buildings and older rooms, but the ambience is cozy and the service is top notch.

Nothing! We have had two wonderful experiences and will be returning.

The room was New York themed and it was beautiful! The ceiling had cloud lights that came with a remote to turn it on and off! The hot tub was nice and toasty, I do wish it got hotter though but that’s alright! The view of the lake is always perfect! The staff was super friendly and they delivered when I made requests, such as asking in advance to open the door to give my room fresh air!

The only few things I didn’t like about the experience was the bed and the hot tub. The bed wasn’t very comfortable and every time my spoused moved, it woke me up. The hot tub was nice but I wished the bubbles were more intense and I wish we could’ve made it hotter.

Rustic cozy inn just right above the lake on a large hill with breathtaking views of the lake below it. The couple who run the place are inviting, accommodating and knowledgeable of the area they live in if you don't know your way around. We enjoyed having our own private hot tub in our suite. It was peaceful at night with no loud neighbors in any of the suites. We look forward to coming back again.

The water pressure was not that great in the shower and the drainage in the shower wasn't draining very well. But that is to be expected considering the age of the place and old galvanized piping.

A quaint little Inn with a spectacular view. The staff were amazing and made you feel at home. The place is dated but it has character. The beds and bathroom were clean. The place is old but it’s as if you are at home with your own backyard. We were able to mingle with some other patrons in the back picnic table. Felt like we were camping. It was great

Small complaints. But not enough garbage cans in the rooms or on location. And towels need upgrading

Great family run motel, for a older place a great value and service. They work hard to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Will maybe make a yearly anniversary weekend adventure.

Not really anything I can say I didn't like, yes it is older, needs some repair in places, but it is family run with amazing views and it was quiet and very nice and comfortable for our anniversary weekend

Very clean, tucked under the I-90 over pass with decks overlooking the lake. Enjoyed the uncrowded outdoor pool which was shaded. Our room was very comfortable and roomy and had a full hot tub and walk-in shower on one side! Separate bathroom, fridge sitting area and windows with privacy facing the woods.

This place is in need of repairs. Most are minor like peeling paint, board replacement, loose rocks that make up the stairs for the pool and some hand rails on the decks getting loose. Such a beautiful place with so much potential, lots of unused space, like a bbq area a more! I would be worried about small children unattended or a small dog not on a leash falling off the deck. Our hot tub area of the room was out dated and didn't have much lighting but we liked it. It had everything we needed though with extra towels in a basket and plenty of room around the tub. Feel bad that someone tried to update the subway tiles in the walk-in shower and messed up and never fixed it. They looked like they would have been fine! Property is owed by local people and hope they keep it that way.

I stayed here once before and had a pretty rough experience with the room being completely run down the hottub didn't work and was FILTHY. But I wanted to give it another shot and I'm so glad I did because this time was great the girl at the front desk was great the room was clean and most of all the hottub was AMAZING ....it looks like they are getting the place fixed up so I definitely recommend staying here

the only thing that I didn't like was the big a** spider that was in the curtain, I would definitely suggest they get some diy home defense spray and give the room a good check ..but I also understand that being in a wooded area as well as it being a older hotel there is only so much they can do.

Though the Bennett Bay Inn is a work in progess and the owners are in the middle of remodeling a very old property in a beautiful location. The buildings are still being renovated and updated but, though rustic, the rooms were very, very clean, beds comfy and was quite nice for the price. Towels were super soft. Property has a pool but it appears to also be under renovation. However, our view from our room of the lake was absolutely spectacular! I told Kelly the owner that once they finish renovating, they will have a real gem. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you Kelly for your hospitality and may God continue to bless you and your husband and staff as you continue the renovations.

Walking down to our room to the outside stairs seemed a little sketchy when we first got there and thought "gosh what will this be like down here at night." But, we were pleasantly surprised that tho the staircase is older, it is very sturdy, safe and the area is very well lit at night.

The venue may seem " lower standards" by outside appearance, but the rooms are CLEAN, plumbing works, AC was wonderful. Staff very welcoming. We enjoyed more than the double tree. We will visit again.

Outside appearance needs maintenance, but the maintenance guy was on other projects, all of which no doubt take time and skill. We will visit again. Thank you!
