After 30 years of marriage and you think you know... This vacation get away for my mothers day gift was absolutely the BEST ever. 5 star experience and tranquil outdoor scenery. Loved the heated floors in the bathroom! The sound and smell of nature... I slept with the sliding door open so I could hear the sound of the river.... More

I work in the fly fishing travel business and have stayed at many 3-5 star fishing lodges and fished with many outfitters in my days. I also was a guide in that area for 5 summers. With no hesitation, the South Fork Lodge is one of the best places to fish and stay I have ever experienced. The lodge is... More

We have attempted to visit the restaurant at South Fork for our Anniversary every year since I learned it existed - it has never disappointed. We were delighted to learn that they were now open year round. The view, the atmosphere, the service - everything was fabulous; they treated us like royalty. The dinner offerings are always unique and delicious.... More

(I'm only reviewing the restaurant, as we did not stay here) When travelling through the area a year ago, tired of truck stop food, the South Fork lodge came highly recommended. We stopped and could tell that This Was The Place --- only to find that a private party had rented out the entire facility for the weekend and so... More

I was lucky enought to stay here and definitely recommend it as a high end choice. No roughing it here, that's for sure. It is right on the Snake River approx 45 min from Idaho Falls airport, and even though the road is fairly close behind you, it was still very peaceful. Our room was very spacious as it was... More

Had a fantastic stay at the South Fork Lodge. The lodge and rooms are gorgeous! The lodge staff could not have been nicer - they are genuinely happy, lovely people and it certainly shows in the level of service provided. The food is amazing. I think we all gained a few pounds on our trip because we could not stop... More

South Fork Lodge Swan Valley Idaho satisfied our September outdoor adventure in paradise. The Lodge is everything a luxury mountain lodge can possibly offer and more. Just before sundown we spent each evening on the outdoor patio overlooking the enchanting Snake River winding from here to there sipping on our drink of choice and yummy appetizers.
