This Inn is everything we didn't know we needed. It felt like a home away from home, the Inn is beautiful and the caretakers are very helpful, kind, and overall very engaging. The bay is a great place to swim, take the paddleboard out, or just put your feet in the water! Beds are extremely comfy!

The Inn was ALWAYS a dream of mine to stay in when my husband and I visited Bigfork. Well to my surprise my husband booked the John Wayne room. This by far is the most BEAUTIFUL INN that we’ve stayed in. The people were very inviting and nice. Everything was shown to us when we arrived. It was just all in all the BEST EXPERIENCE we’ve had in Bigfork. This will be our 1st. choice when booking for next year. Thank you Lim for a wonderful visit….Ed and Francine

It isn't really an Inn. It's more of a Bed and Breakfast, if they included breakfast- which means we had a bedroom with connecting bathroom in a very nice home on Bigfort Bay. We enjoyed our stay. Cute area with good restaurants and art nearby.

Excellent Stay At The Inn on Bigfork Bay.

The whole Inn was very neat and clean and amenities very well thought out. It is located very convenient to restaurants and shopping. Our host was very congenial upon arrival and we will stay there again given the chance to be in the area.

Beautiful house with deck overlooking the bay. The town has a lot of cute shops and the nearby restaurant, Wine and Whisky, was excellent. Be sure that you're in touch with the owner in advance of your stay to learn the access codes for the keypads and also make note of the name of the room you've selected.
