My expectations for the weekend were blown out of the water (literally) in the first ten minutes on the jet boat ride. I don't think we stopped smiling for 3 days. I can't imagine a more beautiful setting for a wedding if rivers and mountains hold a piece of your heart. The staff was incredibly fun and accommodating. Dax is the cutest 6 year old host you'll ever meet and I felt almost no stress before the wedding because I knew Joni had everything under control. If you want a wild jet boat ride, jump on Bucks boat ;) Mackay Bar is truly a hidden gem in Idaho. All of my friends and family are texting me that we forever ruined their expectation of a wedding. Sunset horseback rides, fishing, hiking and phenomenal food. I am forever grateful for our wedding weekend and Mackay Bar and we are plotting to get back there as soon as possible.

With Mackay Bar I can tell you that the answer is a definitive yes! I could write a memoire but I'll keep this short and sweet; amazing accommodations and even better people. Do yourself a favor and save yourself some time, book Mackay Bar now.

That said it needs some new mattresses, a bit lumpy, uncomfortable. Neighboring room plumbing, shower, is quite loud if trying to sleep. Some maintenance looks to be a bit behind. Our bathroom could use some fixes, but clean otherwise. Riggins is a small city, in a rugged area, and lodging like this is appreciated when in town. I still think it is a nice place; keep expectations reasonable.

It's a 30 dollar a night hotel with a 70 dollar pricetag. The room was clean but worn. A hot shower and reliable internet were the highlights. The room had a wonderful view of their service garage in back. I have to say it was nicer than the Kooskia Motel which I thought was overpriced at 55 dollars, but supply and demand for fishermen must drive the prices up in this area.

This year I rented cabin 116, and while the cabin was very clean the mattress on the sleeper sofa wasn't accommodating at all. Very thin and springy. I wouldn't classify it as a 6 person cabin. The 5 star rating is really for the overall stay. Would I rent cabin 116 again? Yes, but only for 4 people.

My sister and her family made reservations at the Wallowa Lake Resort months before our vacation…read morethere for good reason. The accommodations here are great! The staff is very friendly and provides everything from towels, cooking pots and pans, all glasses/plates/silverware/mugs, and anything else you may need (other than food). The only thing it doesn't have is paper towels. We had a larger cabin that slept 8 and it also had a nice deck with propane BBQ, patio table with umbrella, and lounge chairs. The cabins are also cable ready, but the wifi is a bit spotty and you can only check email. However, you're on vacation, so detach from the computer or smart phone and take a walk to the lake to enjoy the other fabulous activities in the Wallowa Lake area. The resort is centrally located within walking distance to the lake, mini-golf courses, go carts, shops, restaurants, the marina, the tram up to Mt. Howard, and much more. The Wallowa Lake resort has a spa on the property as well, so bring your suit. Dogs are also welcome for an extra fee and you will be provided with a dog pack that includes a sheet, treat, and other necessities. Just be sure to keep fido on a leash while on the property or in a crate if you leave them alone. Otherwise, they're very accommodating here. I would definitely stay here again. The property is beautiful.

She quoted us the wrong price and then cornered my father at the wedding demanding $900 more! She claimed to not have known about different things we requested; though we had multiple conversations about the fact that there would be alcoholic beverages served and that we would be renting table clothes. She claimed this never happened and they had no idea until the day before. They also never got us a contract and would take several days before returning phone calls. We were told there would be staff to help with set up and take down and no one was there. Included in the wedding package was a breakfast for the couple the next morning, this never happened and when I asked Vicki about it, she said no one said anything about it so she didn't do it. If it's part of your package, why would the bride and groom need to check with you to make sure it's happening?! The outside area of the lodge was also dirty, we had to sweep and pick up fishing gear and clean windows and dump bird baths. There was supposed to be a beach where we could take pictures, but it was completely overgrown and unkempt; there's no way a bride in a long dress could have walked down there. The wedding was beautiful and went off without a hitch, but no thanks to the lodge owners and staff! NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE!!

Okay, the food isn't "foodie" worthy, but it is decent. The drinks - including a nice assortment of cocktails, are all well curated and fairly priced. The atmosphere is great. The back deck overlooks a grassy area with picnic tables and plenty of area to relax. Yes, the property is a no pet property, and that isn't all bad - especially as some folks are allergic or just plain don't care for pets. I think being a no pet property is great - and I am a take my dog everywhere person. I suggest going to the Wallow Lake Lodge for the Happy Hour. Get some fries, and then grab your dog and walk down to the lake off the property to end a great evening.

I've never worked in food service so I have no way to know how long an order of 11 will take, but I never expected to sit there for over an hour. After the one hour mark I was told that the item I ordered wasn't available and would have to re-order. Truthfully I was in a time crunch to get back to the other side of the state and didn't have another hour to wait for another food item to be prepared. I wish I would've been told an amount of time because it would've swayed my decision of whether I would've attempted to eat here. This was my first visit to wallowa lake state park.

The pool room felt warm and cozy, and the open door to the outside added fresh air without making it cold. Breakfast was honestly above and beyond. It felt more like a full restaurant breakfast than a typical hotel continental spread -- hot, delicious, and way better than expected.
