Guests love us.
Probably because we love them back.

Wow! What a gem! The rooms are spacious & very well thought out. It had everything I needed for a short stay on my drive home and the bed was extremely comfortable! Definitely recommend!!

Once you stay here you will put it on your place to stop again if you are traveling through. Very clean and comfortable. The bed was wonderful. Perfect weight blanket. So many motels have such a heavy comforter that you can only use the sheet. Amy was very accommodating.

Mountain rural hospitality with just the right vibe / You can spend more in this pricey area, but you won't capture a better value. This host knows what modern urban families desire in a mountain rural venue: clean suite, welcoming readiness, hassle-free check-in and checkout, easy road access, and young eagles looking over your arrival. This is a classic 1950s auto court (drive up to your room) but with fastidious attention to the desires and needs of the modern traveler. The view of Schweitzer is great. Hey folks, the price is right.

I've stayed at the Outdoor Inn several times now, and it's been wonderful every time. The owners and employees are very polite and accommodating. The rooms are kept clean and comfortable. I highly recommend the Outdoor Inn to anybody that is looking for a nice place at a great price while in the Sandpoint area.

Fantastic, looking forward to our next stay. / Excellent. We had a very warm welcome from Amy and the room was super clean, super well renovated and the location is perfect.
If you are in this area and looking for a perfect motel, that’s a no brainer.
All the best to the outdoor inn staff and may be see you in the bask country !

Once again, it was perfect. / This was our second time staying here and, once again, it provided everything we needed. We were looking for an overnight stop close to our trailhead. If you are looking for a clean comfortable room with a few nice amenities and a very cozy bed, look no further.

Perfect little room for a staycation! Self check in was a breeze. We opted for the room with the large jetted tub and it was HUGE. So relaxing. There is quite a bit of traffic and train noise but that didn’t bother us; just be aware if you are sensitive to those kinds of things.

Excellent stay in Ponderay / Exceptional service, I booked the wrong day and not only did Amy accommodate us she upgraded the room for no charge. Also loved the story about the rubber duck being on migration, far better than just a rubber duck. Would definitely look this one up if in the area

Beautiful Outdoors Inn in Ponderay / Stayed at the Outdoors Inn with my husband for 3 nights. We loved the beautiful room. Rustic but sooo nice, not to mention really comfortable beds! Appreciated was also the dog area at the end of the parking area. Proprietors very friendly. Would definitely stay there again

The Outdoor Inn is a little hidden gem. My room was comfortable and cozy. After a long day of traveling all you need is a place that the linen and towels are crisp. Thank you
