This little motel was the best! Small rooms, but very cozy and comfortable. Affordable rates, Everything very clean and refreshing, fresh hot coffee. The owners were fabulous, very friendly and helpful. Doris is the sweetest lady, so kind! We are very pleased with our stay and will be happy to stay here again in the future. Thank you Bigfoot Hideaway for a great night's rest and a pleasant stay.

When I went here, it was a crazy time as I was waiting to move into a rental. Michael was so awesome as he worked with me during this time. The rooms are great. Clean, and you can always get what you need from the front office. Then you can walk straight out to an area where you can sit and take in the Beauty of Crystal Falls. It's right off the highway, so getting in and out of town is so easy. Also, you have a gas station across the street for gas or go to Family Dollar if you need something you left at home or some snack as it has everything that you could think of.

They were very accommodating when we needed a room last minute. Clean, comfortable, AC, quiet. Walking distance to an ice cream shop. Glad we stopped.

Owners were absolutely wonderful. We stayed three days and loved it. The mattresses were very comfortable, the towels were plush. There was fresh coffee in the morning and the homemade breakfast treats were a fabulous surprise for my kids. Very clean rooms, friendly owners who even recommended local events and sites to see. We will be back.

I stayed two nights at the BF Hideaway and am extremely pleased that the google reviews I had read prior proved correct. My room was super clean and very quiet for sleeping. And I'm a light sleeper. The location is fantastic, and the "make-you-feel-at-home" atmosphere (free coffee in the morning, a gazebo and sitting area for relaxation and a huge firepit for imbibing in an adult beverage while staring at the fire) was greatly appreciated. I can't say enough about the host, Doris. She is very personable, takes great pride in the way she runs and maintains the Hideaway, and, best of all, has a great sense of humor. I wholeheartedly recommend the Bigfoot Hideaway as a great place to stay, and the price point is right on. Five stars all the way around, folks. Pics included. Thanks again Doris!

Small!! but it’s very clean; has AC, NEW heat, fridge, microwave, with cable TV. What more does one need? I’m here on a four day, three night bird hunt; the only thing I needed was a little more space to hang clothes to dry. But we made it work! Now let’s talk about the host….. by far the nicest people in this town. Always asking what you need every time they see you. Trust me they deliver on those request. Let’s review the check in: After a very “stern” warning I was allowed to check in one hour and ten minutes early lol. So with that, this next statement will ring true; they treats you like family. (The good family, not the bad ones) Coffee and breakfast treats are supplied around 7am. Don’t forget the gift shop. More children sizes to come soon. If you’re here for work, hunting or just passing through, this is a great, clean place to relax for a night or week. I know I’ll be back next fall.

Very welcoming. Very clean. Spectacular customer service! We slid off the road and got stuck in the snow. Doris actually brought her truck and a tow rope to get us out. She is awesome! I mean, how many people would do that for someone staying at their motel. I'm guessing not many. Will definitely stay again while visiting the area.

We cannot say enough how much we enjoyed our stay here! Dorris is one of the most hospitable and kind people we have ever met. She will make sure you have everything you could possibly need to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We loved the fire pit out back (Dorris even showed us how to properly make a fire!) and the overall relaxed vibe of the place. We were able to really enjoy the scenery and the outdoors, and had a nice and cozy room and fire to come back to. Thank you so much for making this part of our vacation so special and memorable. We will definitely be back next year!
