Sawtooth Lodge

Unique quaint lodge in the heart of the Sawtooths. The staff was so friendly, food was delicious, and the nearby geothermal pools were rejuvenating after our backpacking trip. Rustic cabin, but wonderful experience.

I want to start off by saying that Sawtooth and its staff are super friendly and helpful and I would happily come here again! I do want to give a heads up to any families coming here that have little kiddos— (ours are 3 and 10months) we were staying in one of the yurts that had no nearby shade and it was three days of 100 degree heat and we were having problems with heat stroke. The yurt got incredibly hot inside during the day so we mostly took shelter in the lodge and had some delicious ice cream. No fault to Sawtooth but the ice machine stopped working so we made several trips into Stanley for more ice. I would happily stay here again with my kids and I’m so happy to leave a 5 star review!!

I recently visited the Sawtooth Lodge and had a fantastic experience, particularly with the food. After a few days of camping, their sandwiches were a welcomed treat. Fresh, delicious, and just what we needed after campfire meals all week long. But the highlight was their raspberry shakes. They were absolutely perfect, creamy and packed with real raspberry flavor. It felt like a real indulgence after our outdoor adventures. Another great perk is the nearby hot springs, just down the road, which makes the location even more ideal for a refreshing stop. Would definitely recommend stopping here if you're in the area!

We stayed in a yurt for one night after finished a backpacking trip. For us, the location was excellent. Our stay was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the warm spring-fed pool and the nearby Sacajawea Hot Springs. The staff was amazingly nice. They serve a limited menu with outdoor seating, but the food was outstanding! We had sandwich wraps, ice cream & milkshakes and a fantastic full breakfast before our departure. A little hidden Idaho gem. On the rustic side for sure, but relaxing and genuine. Would be nice for a long weekend of relaxing with family or friends... close to great hiking and hot springs! They also offer cabins and tent sites.

This place is a little slice of heaven in the middle of nowhere. It is truly a gorgeous spot and while the road to get out there is rough (in an RV) you’re rewarded by an absolutely beautiful camping spot in what feels like the middle of nowhere. In addition to the location, the staff is absolutely wonderful. We had wonderful interactions, particularly with Jesse, the manager, Lindsey and Austin. But everyone there was more than happy to go out of their way to make sure everything was up to par s as nd guests were happy and well taken care of. We look forward to coming again and look forward to the soaking tubs, the hiking trails and easy access to the river and Hot Springs! I would recommend avoiding the weekend and you’ll most likely have the place to yourself!
