Hoot's Shop and Stay

I took my very first Steelhead fishing trip here in Whitebird Idaho at the end of Oct. 2025 with a friend of mine who has fished here since he was a kid. He said him and his Dad always stay at Hoot's Shop and Stay every year. He convinced me it was nothing fancy. I assured him I am not a 'fancy' gal and I didn't care where we stayed as long as I caught my first Steelhead! He drove to the motel to check us in and was informed that the reservation got lost, but that they knew he had called ahead so they upgraded our room for free. I was pleasantly surprised by the room, it certainly exceeded my expectations. It was clean and cozy with plenty of hot water, a TV, a dorm fridge, and the heat worked super well! It was so nice to be able to come back to a hot shower and a nice warm room after spe

Hands down the best cozy, country experience! Everyone was SO incredibly nice and you can bring your dog without any extra fees. Perfect place to stop over night during our roadtrip, the scenery is breathtaking!

We stop for some information, ended up eating brunch, the food was awesome, the staff even better. If your in the area stop by and fill up yourself and your vehicles. Prices are really good, and they have non-ethanol premium gas.

Great cabins! Stayed a few days and loved the location and the service. We will stay again.

The motel is exactly what you need when you need it! Clean room, working A/C, kind and helpful staff. We needed a place last minute and are so grateful for Hoots!
