The Big Iron sits in one of the most spectacular settings in Idaho. Canyon mountains frame a wild river whose waters create a lullaby for a restful sleep. Rose and Scott Galland demonstrate true hospitality at the Big Iron. The rooms are reminiscent of an earlier era, clean and tidy with a homey atmosphere. Guests are treated to homemade cookies...

We were greated with a friendly smile, complimentary beer and ice tea. The rooms were spotless, Larger apartment refrigerator with Ice trays ready to go. For a "budget" motel the beds were amazingly comfortable with clean, homey linens and the towels were nice and large and super soft.

Scott and Rose are the kindest couple you will ever meet. The motel was so clean and comfortable. Lots of parking. Hot tub, free movies, wonderful cookies! Rose is a GREAT COOK! I will stay at the Big Iron Motel every year for the Riggins Ride & Raft event. Thank you for everything!

The owners continue to be delightful and keep the place very clean and friendly for such a small community. For a back country location this is the place to stay. Fishing, hunting, rafting and just for fun and relaxation this is the spot. The entire town (Pop. 410) is friendly.

This is a little motel right in the heart of town, built in the classic L shape. It has the appearance of an old 70's Motel 6 on the outside but rooms were amazing, including the microwave, fridge and coffee with the typical TV etc. Movie rental was free, free beer or icetea, free homemade cookies, wonderful staff. Cheap and... More

Great place to stay. Great american ownership. Close to the Salmon River and great parking for trailers, boats or any other toy. Small town but the owners have a very big heart. Walking distance to town and its ammenities. We have stayed here for a month at a time with the current owners since they purchased the motel four years... More
