Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This place is an older motel that has been redone on the inside. From the pictures on Expedia, I expected it would be a small, newer cabin-type room (also given that it's connected to an RV park). But once we got inside, it was very clean, cozy, and comfortable. It's right on highway 160, which can be loud. But with the room ventilation fan provided the white noise we needed to keep road noise out. There is no front desk, just direct access to the room. For the price, I think it's a good value and I would stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Door code was incorrect, tried calling every number with no luck but thankfully got a text back with a different code to try. Random dogs will greet you from the cabins. Place is rough but doable. They need a new handy man, workmanship was poor.

Older motel and least expensive in the area. The a/c needs attention as the panel was falling off and it was noisy. No bedside table on both sides, so had to use a chair.

The air conditioning is old but let me tell you, that thing works like a charm. Had the best sleep ever thanks to that old school air conditioner and comfy bed. Clean little stay!

Room was fine, bed was comfortable, about average for an older motel. A clock on the nightstand would be nice (I set the clock on the microwave). Vinyl floor needed to be wet mopped; when I got a shower, my footprints in the tub left dirt from the floor.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Place was great for the price! They had a huge TV, which was fun because we had just been tent camping. Nice amenities, including coffee in the room. Bed was comfortable, and enormous if you like that. It seemed large even for a king. Maybe it was because of that little tent the night before!

Our favorite place to stay in South Fork.

This is our favorite place to stay when in town. The rooms are clean, quiet, and comfy - and you can’t beat the price! The automated check-in feature is convenient as well.

Rainbow Lodge is a great and convenient location for day-trips / back-country touring in Southfork area. Rooms are large, nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. The only reason I rated this Lodge as a 4 is because the rooms have no A/C....owner says it is because it is not needed.....temps dip to mid 50's overnight. The problem is the rooms heat up during the day and it was difficult to rest in a warm room while waiting for the cool down to occur. The windows had no screens, so I was not comfortable leaving windows open to assist with cool-down. The owner was very nice to provide a fan for us....which helped tremendously.
