Redfish Riverside Inn — Hotel in Stanley

I/We usually camp when heading to the mountains/Stanley-so this was a nice treat. We stayed in #24 on the "mountain side". It was a lovely (albeit short) overnight stay, but we loved it. Instead of going out while in town this time-we stayed in, nibbled on local takeout, and watched football. Woke up in the morning and had some pastries and coffee from the bakery-while sitting on the deck and watching the sun highlight the Sawtooth's beautifully. The only thing that would make the visit better- is if the town (in general-especially Mountain Village) would get on board with federal regulations for service animals as none of the Mountain Village properties are friendly (nope-not even with legitimate service dogs) and so I didn't even go there with Redfish as #24 is specifically listed as "absolutely no animals". So, to be fair to them-they likely don't allow animals on the second floor due to noise and I did not ask them to bring my service animal. #24 was the only available at my time of booking so I found arrangements for the pups as it was just two nights away. I would highly recommend staying-it was clean, quiet, and gorgeous views. Make sure to sit out on the deck wrapped up in a blanket with a local pastry and latte to maximize...

2025: Yep it is now same time next year and we just wrapped up our 5 star stay at the Redfish Riverside Inn. If you want a little slice of heaven on earth, I strongly recommend visiting Diana and her team at the Inn. You won’t be disappointed. Luxury mountain accommodations supported by a great team headed up by Diana. ENJOY!

Update 2024: Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, Redfish gets new beds and remodels the bathrooms at the Inn. Extra comfy beds and wonderful showers now make the stay even more enjoyable! Same time next year for us!

For about the last 15 yrs we have been staying for our anniversary weekend at the Redfish Riverside Inn. Great beds, quality service and assistance from Diana and her team make this a great get away! And that is before you take in the beauty of the river right off your patio and rafting, the views of the Sawtooths and the wonderful meals at Limberts, Stanley bakery, Sawtooth Hotel or the Stanley Supper club. So enjoy The Redfish Riverside Inn, the town of Stanley, the town folks and the sheer beauty. It can’t be beat!!!!

PS make sure you give a “Howdy” to Diana...

This place was better than I expected. Very very comfy and cozy. I slept wonderfully listening to the rolling water of the salmon river every night! The river is literally right behind the back balcony or porch. We were upstairs and had an incredible view of the river, the mountains and even a couple of elk that came down to drink water from the river. We reserved a room with two Queen beds and a room with a king. Both rooms were great, but the king room was extra special for my wife and I. We loved it. I would have even enjoyed sleeping on the balcony! Hahahahahaha! When I first called to ask a few questions regarding making reservations there, the wonderful lady that helped me went above and beyond what I was expecting. I booked a room immediately. Later on that day, I booked a second room. The pricing was way better than I expected. The service was way better than I expected. The rooms were way better than I expected. And the view was beautiful! I promise that I will be back again! It was a beautiful winter and our first...
