Bennett Bay Inn is a unique and charming inn located on the side of a hill overlooking Coeur d'Alene Lake. Guests are often captivated by the outstanding views, especially during sunsets, which add to the relaxing atmosphere. The inn offers themed rooms, each with its own distinct style—ranging from Greek mythology to forest fairies—creating a fun and nostalgic feel reminiscent of family cabins. One of the standout features is the hot tub in every room, providing a private and cozy experience with water views, perfect for a romantic evening. However, some reviews mention that the hot tubs appear old and can make the rooms moist and mildew-smelling, which can affect comfort. The inn’s rustic charm extends to its somewhat dated rooms and maintenance, though guests appreciate the spaciousness and the helpful, friendly staff. Many guests find the location fantastic, with spectacular water views and a peaceful setting, making it a worthwhile stop. Despite some minor upkeep issues, visitors enjoy the overall experience, noting the inn’s affordability and the memorable atmosphere. The inn’s cozy, themed rooms and beautiful surroundings make it a restful and interesting place to stay, especially for those seeking a different, rustic getaway in the woods.
This place won't appeal to everyone. The building is in need of some TLC and a few updates to make it look nice, with that being said, it served my family's needs quite nicely. It was in a more quiet location with beautiful views of the lake. The hosts were very nice and helpful. Will definitely return.

This is such a cute cozy cabin vibe. The staff are welcoming and everything is set up for a great place for family. The pool is clean it has a hammock out back nested in the trees. The BBQ was clean and ready for use.

Pretty shot out. If you are in the mood for zero wifi, nonworking microwaves, and dilapidated rooms. This place if for you!
