Sawtooth Hotel

Idaho


Set in a nostalgic 1931 log motel, the Sawtooth updates the slim comforts of yesteryear, but keeps the hospitality effusively Stanley-esque. Six rooms are furnished old-country style, two with private bathrooms. Don't expect TVs or speedy wi-fi, but count on excellent dining (mains $14 to $23) with vegetarian and gluten-free options and a tiny selection of drinkable wines.

On weekends in peak summer season, a two-night minimum stay is required.
