About an hour after I checked in, the power went out all over town. It was warm in Idaho, and I decided to go sit outside until the power came back on. That is where I got to chat with the owner. He confirmed my assumption that the building used to be an assisted living facility. That is why the building is off the main street, and the bathrooms and halls are so large. It is unbelievable that an assisted living facility went out of business. Overall, a great night at this hotel. The shower pressure was good, and plenty of hot water. The bed was comfortable. I had some issues with the TV but used my iPad to watch the news, etc. If I were back in the area, I would stay there again.

This is one of those places that is just not great for tent campers. The "tent" site we were…read moresupposed to stay at didn't even have a spot to put our tent- as it was covered in a giant bush. We opted to release the reservation and go back towards Stanley for a better camping experience. If you're an RV camper of a certain demographic- this might be a great place- but it was not for us. The website needs to be more clear on their "tent" sites and what is available before next summer. Staff is nice, and the RV section looked well Maintained, but the tent sites again- problematic.

I had the pools to myself for an hour before others came. Both have a rock bottoms and steps to get in and out of. One is small and hotter, the day I was there it was 105 and the larger one was 95. Changing room at both. Toilets at the larger one. With the $7 you can to two other areas nearby (Land of the Yankee Fork & Bayhorse). The staff was friendly. The is also camping and RV spots. I believe if you do either of those you can use the pools as well. I would come back if in the area. Great find.

When we got to where our GPS said the location, there was not a single establishment in sight. Tired and defeated, all we wanted to do was find a place to call it a night. We remembered Northgate Inn as being the first place we saw coming through town and of all the places, it seemed the most well kept and was brightly lit. When we finally made the drive back into town, I walked in and picked up the phone to call the front desk. I never got her name, but the lady who helped me was very helpful and not the least bit testy that I woke her up. She was very accommodating and hospitable. For 1 queen size bed, wi fi access for $53.98, that is including tax. The room and bathroom were very satisfactory. Everything seemed clean and the hallway had thoughtful decorations to brighten up the atmosphere. Check out was a breeze and the ice machine is conveniently located in lobby adjacent to the street so we could easily fill our ice chest and load it back into the car. Also, their soda machine sells beverages for 50 cents, what a steal! Highly recommend this place if you're needing a place to crash in Challis. They wont give you an attitude if you happen to be coming through super late at night like us b/c honestly when both parties are that tired, no one needs the other person's sass. Overall a 4 star experience, it turned out to be a better experience that I expected to have in Challis.

When you first walkup to the hotel, you are met with a very rustic, cabin-esque hotel building where you wouldn't expect to find such a fine dining experience. We were sat outside which presented the opportunity to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Sawtooth Mountain range. We ordered several dishes for our meal and every dish was just as amazing as the other! Bigwood Baguette: This was a great start to the meal! The baguette was baked to perfection and had the perfect amount of crunch to it. It comes topped with an herb oil and sea salt which added the most flavorful touch. Soup of the Day: Their soup of the day was a White Bean stew topped with rosemary and hern olive oil. The stew was rich without being too heavy and the seasoning was perfect. Soy Glazed Brussels: The soy sweet chili glaze had such a nice balance of sweetness and the slightest hint of spice. The crispy rice noodles and crumbled peanuts added such a nice textural contrast to the Brussel sprouts, which in my opinion were cooked to perfection! They were seared well without being too burnt or crispy. Beets & Burrata: Hands down one of the highlights of the whole meal. This dish came with a handful of components, that when paired together into one bite on a crostini, resulted in the most delicious amuse-bouche. The burrata was so light and fresh and I never knew that it was the perfect pairing with beets on a crostini. A MUST have. Columbia River Grilled Steelhead: Absolutely stunning. The Steelhead was executed beautifully and the mushroom asparagus risotto was cooked to perfection. Honestly, compliments to the chef for what seemed to almost be an experimental pairing with adding the sweet pesto and blueberry gastrique. Never could have I imagined these flavors being paired together atop a piece of salmon and I will not ever soon forget how flawless this dish was. Pork Schnitzel: This was my husband's dish which I did not have a bite of, but from what I could tell, the Pork Schnitzel was very well done. It was thinned out and tenderized very well and the breading looked like it was golden-crisped wonderfully. I did get to try the mashed potatoes and can remark that they were some of the best I've had! I had some of the lemon caper beurre blanc that was drizzled atop the dish and I would do anything to be able to have a jar of that at home. I am going to talk about this meal for a long time. If you are ever passing through Stanley, Idaho, it would be a giant mistake to not visit the restaurant at the Sawtooth Hotel.

It included a queen sized bed, a chair for relaxing, a desk for working, a private bath and access to the outside balcony. Rooms are decorated in the rustic, log built furnishings that one would expect. Reservations are made by calling in to the office. They are prepaid with a door access code sent to your phone the day of arrival. There is a central area for gathering with tables, chairs and a fireplace. There is a hot tub available. Some rooms are pet friendly. The WiFi worked good. The facility does not have elevators so having a room on the second floor requires carrying luggage up the stairs. The room had an air conditioner but it was a floor unit, not a wall unit. In all I enjoyed my stay here and would choose again if back in the area.
