Stanley is a weird and wonderful place. It is said to be the coldest place in Idaho and it was 3 above zero in late October, 2012 with everything coated in beautiful flocked snow.. The Motel was modest, the host was helpful and friendly and the room had a functioning kitchenette with pots and pans etc. It was ultra clean,... More

The accommodations are standard for the area, but clearly over priced. The place was clean, the view quite poor. I'd suggest looking elsewhere because you'll get more for the money. The owner reminded me of an ex-military man that runs a tight ship and is highly inflexible.

I booked 3 nights in Stanley, first at the High Country Inn. It wasn't at all what I expected and not very clean with a fifties kitchen and bath. I left after one night. I then went to the Valley Creek. How refreshing to have a clean, fresh smelling room. First I met Herb, a nice man who runs the... More

Clean, no frills motel. If you need a moderately comfortable room in Stanley or a large room with a kitchenette for preparing your own meals, you can consider Valley Creek. If you're looking for a nicer room with up-to-date decor (decor here is not old or dirty, just very low-budget) and spectacular views, you might want to try someplace else.... More

We called ahead & were assured the property was handicap accessible w ramp & bath bars prior to our 6/2011 trip. My husband has muscular dystrophy & can only walk a few shaky steps while hanging on - on flat ground. We weren't told the parking lot was loose gravel & the only access to the ramp. His scooter wheels... More

As in most of the reviews the view was fantastic and being able to go out both sides of the building to look at it is a bonus. Victoria was very helpful in guiding us to an interesting afternoon outing and a great breakfast spot. When we checked in to the room there was a dirty facecloth left on the... More

The Valley Creek Motel is conveniently located on the west side of town on Highway 21. There are 7 rooms total. We stayed on the second floor which offered good views of the Sawtooths from the front balcony and a pleasant view off the rear deck of the Valley Creek and nearby hills. As with most of the motels in... More

This is a very nice hotel with some outstanding views of the mountains from the balcony. The rooms were clean, well maintained and quiet. The owner was very friendly and gave us some good suggestions for places to eat in town. The bakery in town has outstanding breakfast and they are very prompt in getting the food out. I would...

We stopped in at this motel because it had tv spaces and also 50 amp for our big rig. It was in the middle of a very nice part of the state. They had 4 Rv spaces that were back in. We were not botherd once by the motel. It was also right next to a rafting company.

Small facility with only seven rooms is located such that it has a wonderful view of The Sawfooths. There are balconies on both sides of the rooms. Room was clean and neatly arranged. Bed was comfortable, shower was adequate and the kitchenette had everything we needed. Owner/manager was cordial. All-in-all a great place to stay and very affordable.
