- JBJoe BlakelyNov 13, 20255.0Very cool venue with great access to the Salmon river. Restaurant food and service was superior too.
- NJNick and Karen JanosikNov 12, 20255.0We had our dream romantic wedding at Tailwater Lodge on 8/8/2025 and it was fantastic! We enjoyed knowing we could have everything there and not "deal with" having to purchase shuttles and that staff would set up all our decorations since we did not have a wedding planner! I brought lots of candles, signs, pictures and little items for our big day. They supplied the linens, wood slabs for table settings along with the easels for my mirror signs. A lot of family from out of town were able to stay right there and the staff were all so helpful and friendly! We stayed both nights free in the bridal suite which was huge. We chose to have our rehearsal dinner AND our next morning brunch at Tailwater as well and both were delicious! We enjoyed the hot tub at the hotel along with corn hole and the bonfire pits! We hope to come back for anniversaries to celebrate in the future! PHOTO CREDIT: KATIE DEAN PHOTOGRAPHY
- PCpatty christensenNov 12, 20255.0We planned a family fishing trip with our adult children and 2 yr old grandson and had a fabulous time! The hotel was very child friendly, with plenty to do inside at the game room and swimming pool and outside on the grounds. The staff in the restaurant, especially, Taila, were great with kids, anticipating our needs and making special food just for little ones. The food in the restaurant, breakfast, lunch, and dinner was great, something for everyone and the bar was lively. And they were very accommodating for the early morning fishermen/women. Our primary reason for staying there was to go fishing and it was excellent! Our guides, Jerry Sullivan and Matt Ertzinger made sure everyone fishing, especially those who had never fished before, had a great experience. We used the spa and some did sporting clays with rave reviews. This was one of the best family vacations we have ever had! There was something for everyone and the accommodations were perfect.
- RFRachel FishNov 7, 20255.0Our August 2nd, 2025 wedding at Tailwater Lodge was nothing short of spectacular thanks to the staff at Tailwater Lodge. To start, it was incredibly easy to plan everything with them. They are organized, knowledgeable, and made this huge task of wedding planning enjoyable! Extremely accommodating… if we gave them an idea or a want- they made it happen! When it came to day-of the event, I was even more thrilled. Everything ran perfectly smooth- I feel like I can say that truly nothing went wrong at our wedding. We had guests tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Our wedding has since been described as “fairytale” thanks to Tailwater’s impeccable attention to detail and dreamy, rustic backdrop. My husband and I can not thank you all enough.
- DCDonald ColemanNov 6, 20252.0Hosted a wedding event/reception at the hotel. We were told we would receive HiltonHonors points for every dollar spent. After spending over $10,000 for the weekend and multiple conversations/emails. We have received nothing but headaches. Service sucks!
