Modern amenities in the middle of the forest. It is a fantastic getaway from the busy city life. The room is clean. The kitchen is modest and modern. There are two heat sources so a vacation in the winter should be no problem.

Beautiful spot but a sad place. Units inside are clean and modern however gas heater didn’t work because it’s never been hooked up in five years. No coffee or coffee maker when we arrived after three requests we got a coffee maker, but never any coffee.Really seems to be a Three Stooges operation,too inept for a pricy night. This is NOT a high end place at all,either spend the extra and stay in Ketchum or Sun Valley or continue on to Stanley for a far far better experience. Seriously suspect the four star rating on Hotels.com. Lastly, Ketchum is a long ride from here so smiley Creek is isolated, costly, rundown, and poorly hosted. Sad really because it could be so charming.

Room wasn't ready until 1630 at the earliest (1500 check in time). Zero compensation other than a 'sorry'. No forks, no paper towels, shower door leaks absolutely everywhere which is a huge fall risk. Massive step down into the room...fall risk. Had to take our outdoor furniture back from the staff's camper next to ours. Host hoped there was room for us to park next to a broken down vehicle.
Called beforehand to ask if the property had laundry services. We were told 'no' so we went out of our way to wash clothes while camping only to discover our room had a washer/dryer. Cabin was nice, although barren. Atmosphere was neat. Priced about 3 times what the experience was worth. I would not recommend this. Stanley is close enough to the Sawtooth for pre-backpacking stays. Waiting for our room, we discovered Ketchum which is a beautiful area.

The modern cabin was new, clean and decorated tastefully. We are in our 60s and I never saw anything saying the sleeping room was up a set of 8 steep stairs and you cannot stand in the sleeping area so we had to crawl to the stairs and at our age have to get up to use the bathroom several times per night. We hardly slept and then the lodge/store was not open when we left at 7:30 am to buy coffee and food. There was a coffee maker in the room but no coffee. For the price. we paid, in the future we will travel another hour but for younger guests this property would be good.

The unit was very comfortable and roomy for three people. There was no coffee pot but we made instant coffee and survived just fine.
Check-in was slow so they gave us a free drink. The staff was unbelievably friendly and accommodating. We only ate at the restaurant once but it was fantastic. Local beers on tap were good too.
