We visited the River Dance Lodge on our honeymoon! The cabin we were in was in the upper most corner of the property, and were told it was the most private (the cabin name is eluding me)... But, it was wonderful. During our three day stay, we also booked a couple's massages in our cabin, reccomended by the owners. It... More

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay! The cabin you were in is called the Naturalist and does command such a beautiful view of the Clearwater River. Glad the massage was great and we do hope to see you next year! Many thanks. More

Disappointed with the difference between Internet marketing and reality. Website makes me expect something like Sun Mountain Lodge in Winthrop; should have realized this with the lack of photos of the lodge. Whoever does their webpage is a master at marketing. River Dance Lodge itself is not a destination; it's a place to stay while you're doing whatever you do:... More

So sorry that you had expectations we did not meet. Please call us directly if you have some specific changes you'd suggest regarding our web presentation as we certainly do want to portray an accurate picture of what we offer. We certainly don't claim to have the amenities that Sun Mountain has such as a spa, multiple conference rooms nor... More

This was our fourth annual Girls Retreat at the River Dance Lodge! You can't ask for a better place to relax...spending evenings relaxing in your own private hot tub while staring at the stars. The cabin is always well stocked with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The view of the Clearwater River from the beautiful front porch of... More

I have stayed in many lodges and white water rafted with the best, I have to say River Dance was the best I have ever experienced, the staff was very attentive, took very good care of us thru the whole stay, nothing was ever too much to ask, the food would compete with any 4 star place I have eaten,...

I found this lodge on the internet and booked an aniversary getaway for my husband and I. We were greeted in 100+ degree heat with "You are to early and we have no water!" We arrived about 15 min before check in according to the website. It indicated that if you arrive early and your cabin is not ready you... More

My family rented out 2 of the large cabins that were connected, so we were able to share one large porch complete with hot tubs and barbecues. The cabins were so nice and clean that it felt like we were at a resort, not "camping" in the wilderness. They even had room service to bring us fresh towels and more... More

Our family of nine stayed at River Dance on the all inclusive package. Before we ever arrived, I talked with R.O.W. staff multiple times with questions and plans. They were so helpful. While staying at River Dance we found the staff and guides knowledgable and they bent over backwards to accomodate us. We hiked, rafted, fished, and horseback rode. We... More

I had a great mancation at the river dance lodge. We ran the lochsa rapids at 16500 cfs. Fast water! It was awesome. Guides are top notch, you feel excited but safe because of the quality of the gear, the experienced guides and the safety measures. Truly one of the most memorable experiences I have had. The cabins are beautiful... More
