On day one after a late arrival the night before, we realized that our coffee maker was missing. Troy ponied up and brought a coffeemaker from his personal home to accomdate our group. In addition to excellant service, after long days of fishing, the lodge was quite comfortable to come back to. Not a day went by that we didn't notice the small but many high class features of the lodge (from antique style lighting, to quiet closing kitchen drawers / toilet seats, to rope accents, to the awesome shower, etc). The cherry on top was landing a fish in walking distance from the lodge!! Very reasonable pricing for a group of 4

This place is defintely worth the price you pay for convenience alone. It was an amazing place to stay. We made the trip here to fish the Clearwater river, which is located practically out the front door, and we didn't regret it for one second. It makes it nice when you are looking for a good spot on the river to fish knowing that the place you are staying is a stone's throw away. Along with convenience, the place is also extremely confortable and clean. With how long the ISL has been open and how many fishermen and hunters have been through here, it definitely has been well taken care of and it shows. There is plenty of space for all your gear that you bring and a kicthen with all of the tools needed for a home cooked meal. This is definitely a place I would reccomend to anybody. We will definitely be staying here again.

I am very glad that I choose to stay at the Idaho Sportsman Lodge in Stites, ID. Not only is it located in an absolutely gorgeous part of Central Idaho (and just across from the beautiful Clearwater River), but I couldn't ask for more comfortable, tastefully decorated and impeccably clean accommodations! We spent several days exploring the richness of the area and each night we came back to enjoy a nicely supplied kitchen, comfortable leather furniture and the relaxed atmosphere of a beautifully constructed log lodge. I will make that trip again and I will look forward to staying at the Idaho Sportsman Lodge.

I found the Idaho Sportsman Lodge when searching for a place to stay for a steelhead fishing trip on the Clearwater River... The rates seemed great and the pics on the website looked cool so we ended up stayed there.

I must say that I've never been on a fishing trip where I've stayed in a nicer place! The owners were great and the accommodations were fantastic. Large living room, plenty of beds, full kitchen with all the pots, pans, plates, etc we could need.

Plus we were within walking distance of some awesome fishing holes.

This place is a gem and worth the couple of extra bucks you might pay compared to the old motels in the area.

The ISL was amazing! There's plenty of reasons to relax and enjoy the lodge that was built by a father and son team. We cozied up in the living area; enjoyed the convenience of a fully stocked, full-size kitchen with newer appliances; we had a great night of sleep in a nice big bed with very comfortable bedding; and of course the refreshing shower with beautiful stonework made the morning a bit easier to wake up and face the day ahead.

We were within an armshot of fantastic fishing, and not too far from some beautiful hiking, too! We had breakfast at The Chatterbox, which was within walking distance. The Breakfast fajita filled me up for the day! Most excellent!

The owners are very hospitable, and will go out of their way to make the Idaho experience a great one for you and your friends/family.

We had a very short stay, due to time constraints, but we'll be back to soak it all in someday!

Thank you, Idaho Sportsman Lodge!

This lodge stands out vs. the others in the area with large condo style accomodation with log construction. Everything to have a home away from home is in place with cathedral ceiling, living room, dining nook, full kitchen, seperate bedrooms. Large shower, wi-fi, sattelite cable tv, microwave. outdoor bbq grill, parking for atv and trailers. Being just across the road of the river gives immediate access to river recreation and within 30 minutes drive is a ton of options for activities. Personlized service made the time special as well.
