River Dance Lodge

We had our small wedding here and the staff were SUPERB. So helpful and accommodating to us and all of our guests all weekend. I wish the Cafe was open, but they were helpful to let let us store our stuff in their kitchen to make it work.

Cabins are great and they were a little toasty without a/c, but it wasn't too bad. Loved the place though and is the perfect spot for a big group or just a weekend away with your loved one. Definitely going back.

The staff was awesome and dinners included in our package were delicious. We stayed in a Glamping tent which was roomy with a comfy bed and the soaking tub out back was definitely a plus. We look forward to returning and plan to stay in a cabin next time.

In the duplex cabin I had concerns about hearing through the wall but we couldn't. There's no real storage for luggage or hanging but thankfully we had an extra room that we were able to use for this purpose. It's a real log cabin and was very cozy and nicely decorated with lots of natural light and many lamps too. To keep it cool you have to be diligent about opening the windows at night and closing first thing in the morning. Following that protocol, we were very comfortable. We could see the river and glow from sunset reflecting on the water from the table in our living area. The hot tubs was very clean and seemed pretty new even!

They were hesitant to provide the WIFI at the cafe so for better or worse be prepared for limited connection to the outside world.

We did try to have a fire but found that the wood by the ring was soaked by the sprinkler and despite all of our best efforts, couldn't light it, so if you'd like a campfire I suggest talking to them ahead of time.

The rafting and biking with ROW were awesome. She didn't give us anything that we couldn't handle. We'd never kayaked white water before but felt very safe in our own tandem kayak. With the guide nearby in raft with the 3 person group. When I found I couldn't tackle the hills on the bike, she was happy to keep biking along the river on the dirt road past a beautiful waterfall and cute bridges. We even picked fresh thimble berries and cherries along the way.

Dinner at Syringa Cafe is delicious. I really liked the squash ravioli and desserts. They also have a large selection of wine. I was surprised to learn upon arriving that with the "all inclusive" you technically do not get to pick your dinner, its w/e the chef is making. However, as a vegetarian who hadn't been told, they obliged me. FYI, because I wasn't sure before arriving "all inclusive" does not include any drinks with dinner. It does include a small starter salad and daily changing delicious dessert.

The breakfast baskets weren't anything special (some oranges or apples, yogurt (with gelatin), hard boiled eggs, bagel) which was a little disappointing given how much it costs ($400 for 3 days of food [2 adults]). The packed lunches (simple sandwich [tomato, cheese, onion, hummus, pickle], chips, orange, can of soda) were also just okay so next time I would think about bringing my own.

It's a beautiful spot and we really loved it. It was hard to get a lot of information about it ahead of time since all of the booking is via another city. I hope this review will be helpful.

Great place with the kindest, most helpful employees. Seriously they ALL go out of their way to make your stay and your vacation the best it can possibly be. We did the guided Selway river float and mountain biking, and then additional hiking on our own. All of it was amazing and beyond beautiful. The food was great, the cabin was very clean, and the hot tub was a nice addition. We will definitely find a chance to return in the future and we would recommend it to any and everyone!!

I stopped here for lunch on the last leg of a very long road trip with my two youngest kids. The food was incredible! The environment was so calm and pleasant. The staff was even better! They were so sweet and friendly even though the three year old completely melting down and having to be carried out screaming. Totally unphased and professional and sweet from start to finish. We'll definitely be coming back sometime when everyone is well rested!
