Looking to explore wide-open skies, alpine lakes, and cozy mountain towns? I’ve spent time discovering Idaho hotels & resorts that strike the perfect balance between outdoor adventure, comfort, and that rustic charm I always seem to crave. Whether you're traveling with your partner, family, or just getting away on your own, I think you’ll find something here that speaks to you.

Highlights:

  • In Sun Valley, I stayed at luxury resorts with ski-in/ski-out access and spa services—it was everything I needed after a day on the slopes.
  • Lakeside hotels in Coeur d’Alene gave me beach access and some of the most peaceful views I’ve seen—perfect for quiet mornings or sunset strolls.
  • Boise’s walkable downtown surprised me with its charm, and I found boutique hotels and welcoming inns that felt like a home away from home.
  • When I wanted to be closer to nature, mountain lodges near hot springs, hiking trails, and scenic byways gave me exactly that escape I was looking for.
  • And for families, I’ve found resorts with pools, outdoor adventures, and cozy cabin vibes that kept everyone happy—even the adults.
