It all starts with Cindy at the front desk; she's fantastic. A friendly smile and a welcome hello let you know you are at the right place. The rooms are good sized, especially if you get one with a kitchenette. The staff is friendly and willing to help; ask. The rooms are clean and well stocked, with the amenities you need when away from home. The location is hard to beat as several good dining establishments are within a minute's walk, and the marina is maybe ½ mile away.

What makes this place unique is the service, from loaning out bug spray to a quick change of sheets in the room. But that is table stakes compared to how they went above and beyond for us. We checked out on Sunday, grabbed a bite to eat just around the corner at Ardy's Cafe, and then hit the road. About 30 minutes into our drive, I received a call from The Inn at Priest Lake. We left iPods in the room, and they wanted to make us aware. Well, it turns out my daughter left her sunglasses at breakfast. I asked if they could mail the iPods and, if it was not too much trouble if they would mind going to Ardy's to see if the sunglasses were there. They said no problem, and we wrapped the call.

Four days later, iPods and sunglasses arrive in the mail. That is what I call service. Thank you, Cindy and team; we will return next year and can't wait to see everyone.
