"Its a beutiful place with a awesome view, the woman that helps is really nice! The only problem.. the mattress! Im not sure if these are old or just is the shape but make a lot sounds, they are not really comfortable.. also, no air conditioner."

"Such a historic gem! This is a quaint, quiet inn with gorgeous view! We had the place to ourselves. Enjoyed the large space and private entrance of the Kalispell Suite. Being rained in on our first night, we enjoyed watching the storm blow in from the warmth of our bed. I would love to hear all the stories of this place. Property under new ownership. No longer a B&B, but there is a nice communal area with a coffee station and seating area. Thomas, the owner, was very communicative and accomodating. We really appreciated his availability upon check-in. Plentiful hot water, good water pressure, warm bedding. Was worried about old building draftiness on a cold night, but it was not a problem at all! Thermostat and fan in room kept us very comfortable. Walking distance to a general store and a coffee shop. The two restaurants nearby serve hardy meals!"

"Available Memorial Weekend thru around Columbus Day. Very reasonable room pricing that includes full breakfast and wine & appetizers in the evening. Oldest building built on Priest Lake. Lake access with dock for your boat. Easy walk to grocery store and restaurant."

"My husband and I wanted to get away from the city for our anniversary weekend, so we picked a spot on the map and started looking around and eventually found this place. Wow! We lucked out!! The place tucked into this tiny "town" of Coolin. Just a short walk down the hill and you're at your own private dock on Priest Lake. The inn itself is so cozy and welcoming. Kirsten, the inn keeper, is so gracious and sweet, she is just the kind of person you'd hope would welcome you. 5pm wine and cheese was unexpected and so nice. Sitting on the deck with a glass of wine, overlooking the lake, is exactly what we wanted. Her breakfasts she prepared were all home baked and delicious! Everything about our visit was perfect! The rooms are so quaint and cute, everything antique and century appropriate. The town itself is very, very small, only a couple places to eat, but that's what we wanted, so if you are looking for a real getaway this is the place!"
