I didn't have any interaction with staff. The place had a funky smell and my shoes stuck to the floor. The building seemed to have been built "back in the day" and seemed on the verge of various things going to need replacing. The water line had air in it and spurted from the faucet in fits and starts. I don't know if the unit i was in had pets previously, but the couch has seen better days. I hesitated to sit on it. My overall take on it was that it is not clean.More like what might be considered fancy camping in the 1960s.

Ice build-up (2" ) in the freezer so door would not close, we were asked to unplug and pull out. Sauna was leaking in rainwater. No ice - told to punch in code to open ice box - no lock and no ice, told to go across street to restaurant and ask for bag of ice. Grounds not kept up. Air conditioner/heater full of dust and debris.

Blissful stay on the side of Flathead Lake
We had the Bali cabin which had two queen beds, bath, shower and a small kitchen and also a sitting room area with flat screen TV. After the horrors of staying in a cabin in Glacier National Park this was absolute bliss. Would definately stay here again

Reception was closed and there was a contact number written on a white board. I receieved a text about a code to access my room, and when I entered the room, it was clean but over powered by a cinnamon smell. I had to air out the room. Contacted reception by the number provided and connected to a switch board number which was not local. I receieved a text saying they switched my room, and provided with a new access code. The room stilll smelled and aired it out. I will not stay at this "inn" and wpuld not recommend it.

We booked because I thought was nice spot close to restaurants. When you enter the place you can smell mold . Mold was all over in bathroom ceiling. Someone hairs in the tub . Bunch of dog poop where you should relax by bonfire. Ice machine empty. We left without even staying in for the night

The room was good size, appropriate decor for the "Maui "room. Everything needed was provided. Very clean. The surrounding area was not very attractive. The view of Flathead Lake was beautiful from The Raven Bar and Grill back patio. There is no water/beach access so if that is something that the traveler desires they must drive to another location. The room was quiet even though the Inn is located on a 2 lane road that can get busy. Check in was smooth, we didn't see or interact with any staff or service personnel.

Beautiful view
The Islander is located across the street from Lake Flathead and was clean and comfortable with a laid back vibe. Two good restaurants within walking distance along with Burls cherry orchard on the street uphill. Was able to walk through the cherry orchard.

Cute hotel. We had problems with keyless entry (the owner entered the wrong code). Staff was very nice and helpful. Not all outlets worked. Had to move coffee maker to use.
