FROM THE SOUTH: Simply drive north 37 miles fom the center of Ketchum on scenic Highway 75. This will take you over the panoramic Galena Summit. After you reach the valley floor you will find the Smiley Creek Lodge welcoming you on the left side of the road. FROM THE NORTH: Drive south 22 miles from Stanley on scenic Highway 75. You will have a stunning view of the Sawtooth as you drive through the valley.
This place is awesome. They've got it all. I mean, its not fancy. If youre picky, its not your place, but then I doubt anyone stuck up enough to whine wouldn't do well snowmobiling, ATVing, mt biking, fishing, boating and dancing to their summer bands out in the beautiful, but rugged Sawtooth Wilderness of Idaho.
I stopped in for lunch after getting rained out of my Sawtooth trekking that morning and was anxious for a warm place to sit and a good meal. I got exactly that with excellent service send a really good burger. The staff are truly very kind and welcoming. They notice when you walk in the door and greet you with intention and that's refreshing. I appreciated my lunch a lot.
This is the all time greatest Snowmobile excursion company. Look no further. The machines are high quality, and the customer service experience is outstanding. We are already planning our next trip, and will 100% be renting from Smiley Creek lodge again.
We rented snowmobiles last year. Had so much fun. Decided to do it again this year. Still lots of fun.
Enjoyed the diner both times. Staff is awesome.
We'll see you again next year.
We were a group of 7 from NC. We were skiing in Sun Valley but also looking for something else to do during the week. Renting snowmobiles from Smiley Creek was perfect. Ford, Cody and Marissa were friendly, helpful and fun to hang out with after we got back. The trails are well marked and the snowmobiles are well maintained and easy to use. Great experience with fantastic mountain views!
