Sportsman Lodge Melrose MT

It was very comfortable as well as has everything we needed. Very roomy.

The owners of the property were very responsive and always answered the phone when they were called. They took care of anything that you asked. The rooms are somewhat dated, but there was someone on the premises working on at least one of the rooms. The rooms could be updated, but the rooms worked for the purpose we were there for.

THE CABIN WE STAYED IN WAS AWSOME. BOTH MY WIFE AND MYSELF THOUGHT IT MAYBE TOO HOT TO SLEEP AS IT WAS IN THE LOW 90S DURING THE DAY BUT TO OUR SURPRISE WITH THE FAN THAT THEY SUPPLY AND WE HAD OUR OWN FAN FOR THE BEDROOM IT WAS VERY COMFORTABLE. WE ARE DEFINTLY COMING BACK.THE HITCHING POST HAS VERY GOOD FOOD AND GREAT STAFF.

We liked the price. Period. We stayed there at the height of summer. Read the fine print - or, more to the point, make note of what's not there to read - there is no A/C - just a large, industrial, crazy loud fan. We were dying. And the windows (besides bathroom, which cracks open a bit) don't even open so you can't get any air flowing. I was hot and tired, so I thought I'd run a bath in their miniature tub. The water was yellow. All fixtures are old. Many appliances don't plug in because there are so few places to plug in, but there are extension cords, etc., that have been electical taped-together. The whole place is a fire hazard. There was one set of USB ports that only drained our devices' batteries so we went on searches for places to plug in our charging blocks and took turns charging. The beds are so incredibly small you better really like the person you're sleeping with. Not much else to say - if you are, indeed, a sporstman and only come in late in the evening, take a quick shower, and get up and out of there by daybreak, you'll be fine. If you're on your way somewhere and this is a midway stopping point where you want to relax before the next leg of your trip, this is not the place for you. It certainly wasn't for us.

I don't get the high ratings. Was cute, log-cabin style, might work as a stop-over if headed hunting/camping, used to cabins or tents, but as a hotel during a road-trip, this was a rough stay for us. Hottest summer in decades, our room had only a tiny bathroom window and a tiny front door window that was broken and would not move to open more screen. Main window was single-pane glass and did not open. Had a moveable fan in-room, yes, but no swamp cooler or a/c and no way to create airflow. Room was hot all night, 90 no airflow. Other guests had doors open, visible in their underwear also trying to cool down. Ashtrays right by rooms; rooms were non-smoking, but property was not. Sure, the room was clean, but not all the furniture was in good repair. The beds my nephew and his mom slept in were rickety, mattresses dipped, the "suite" my extended family rented was tiny, less than a foot space around the main bed, had to turn sideways to move around. For check-in, got a text message with automated code, no phone # for issues, didn't see any staff on-site, my follow up text asked me to leave a "positive review" online. I wish the owners well, but this property needs some attention. It was not a pleasant stay for us at all, we didn't get much sleep in the hot room, neighbors smoking right by our open windows, no way to cool the room at all, in a run-down bed with my feet sticking off by maybe 6 inches, even though I am only 6'2" tall. Was a pretty bad experience.

This little cabin is the perfect getaway. It looks rustic, but is clean and has all the amenities. There's a bar and restaurant you can walk to, a river as well, and after dinner, you can sit on the porch and watch the sun set over the mountains.

There was no air so we were really hot. We could not open the windows because there were still storm windows on. We could not open both doors because of gaps around doors and fear of mosquitos. Still there were lots of mosquitoes that got in so that we were bitten. There was only one fan to be had for the multiple bedrooms. The house was not stocked with toilet paper but thankfully the owners brought some over. The lighting is poor in the house. The lamp shades still had plastic on them. The coffee pot had mold in it. We were extremely disappointed because this was not the Sportsman Motel we were led to believe we were renting from the pictures.

Beautiful valley. Well maintained buildings and grounds. Easy checkin. First night was quiet 2nd night had to knook on neighbor's door and tell them people were trying to sleep. No a/c and the temperature necessitated leaving door and the onw window that opened open at night. Restaurant within walking distance. Fishing close by.

Absolutley amazing property! Cabins are quaint, clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was already there for us! Location is amazing, outdoor activities all around, fishing, riding an a great community fire pit
