This Inn is everything we didn't know we needed. It felt like a home away from home, the Inn is beautiful and the caretakers are very helpful, kind, and overall very engaging. The bay is a great place to swim, take the paddleboard out, or just put your feet in the water! Beds are extremely comfy!

Booked this rather last minute for just one night to get out of town and beat the heat. What a gem. The perfect location, gorgeous room as well as the rest of the Inn. The deck is spacious with an amazing view of Big Fork Bay. Parking was easy even for our rather oversized truck. Right in the heart of downtown with easy access to all restaurants and shops. The hostess could not have been more helpful and friends. Breakfast Wes a wonderful assortments of fresh local fruit, eggs, cinnamon rolls, cereals etc. The bed was a dream with high end linens. War are looking forward to an extended stay next summer.

The Inn was ALWAYS a dream of mine to stay in when my husband and I visited Bigfork. Well to my surprise my husband booked the John Wayne room. This by far is the most BEAUTIFUL INN that we’ve stayed in. The people were very inviting and nice. Everything was shown to us when we arrived. It was just all in all the BEST EXPERIENCE we’ve had in Bigfork. This will be our 1st. choice when booking for next year. Thank you Lim for a wonderful visit….Ed and Francine

It isn't really an Inn. It's more of a Bed and Breakfast, if they included breakfast- which means we had a bedroom with connecting bathroom in a very nice home on Bigfort Bay. We enjoyed our stay. Cute area with good restaurants and art nearby.

What a beautiful home and location! Lots of great breakfast food and access to a well stocked kitchen. We had a wonderful afternoon and evening on the lake with the stand-up paddle boards and floating chairs. The town has lively and yummy restaurant options and an art/crafts festival was taking place while we were there. There is a fantastic 4 mile round trip hiking trail just outside of the cute town that follows a lovely river and, beyond the dam, a lake hosting many birds. We were able to host local friends for a fun bbq (which needed a little support before we could use it, but the host was very diligent in helping with that effort) on the deck. The property manager and cleaning staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, taking every effort to address any requests and making our stay an outstanding experience The only thing that detracted from our visit (obviously not the responsibility of the host, but a definite risk in the summer) was heavy smoke from Spokane fires and other blazes in Montana and Canada that came on during our BBQ and resulted in an AQI of 236. We left a day early since things were projected to get worse. We would gladly return to spend more time in this fantastic Inn and lovely location!
