We were looking forward to staying in Apt 4, Valley View but were very disappointed. The inside of the refrigerator was very warm and it took over 24 hours at the highest setting to get it to cool down to even close to the correct setting. The kitchen was poorly stocked; no oils, spices, etc and only a minimal amount of pots, pans, cutting boards, etc. The stove and the fridge were old and there was very little counter space. The bathroom was small with a make-up area/sinks in the hall leading to it. The bedroom and bed were fine but it could have used an extra night stand for electronics, eye drops, etc. There was also a large walk-in closet that was overkill but could be made more useful with the addition of a chest with drawers to put clothes in or at least a couple of stands for storing/accessing luggage.

Also, the bed and bath towels were very nice.|Overall with the addition of a new refrigerator, more cooking utensils, a nightstand and a chest of drawers this could...

Stanley Vacation Rentals had a lodging opening for 2 nights between existing reservations. I made my non-refundable reservation via email with the owner.||||Note, there is no pool or free breakfast, but rooms have a coffee maker, good TV, kitchen table, fridge, microwave, and couch. We easily borrowed beach towels from the management to use at lakes. (Bath towels are in the room.) The scenic view from the deck is of the peaceful meadow and hills, not the mountains. Guests must use stairs to access rooms. ||||Highly recommend this place! I wish I could...
   Read moreWe stayed in #4 which has a single bedroom, bath, living room, dining area and kitchen. The bed was comfortable as well as the rest of the place. The owners and staff were very pleasant and helpful. ||While sitting on the front porch we had the pleasure of seeing elk, a fox & a badger came by while we were eating. The surrounding areas of the Sawtooth Mountains was breath-taking in many ways. Bring your kayaks, fishing poles, hiking boots and a good book. You won't be...
