    Our stay at the High Country Inn was simply amazing. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Jo made us feel at home in every way. Dinner and breakfast was outstanding! The lodge is beautiful and we loved the Moose Room.....I would highly recommend staying here.

    What a way to arrive, a stunningly beautiful drive along the Clearwater River bordered by trees and small towns. Quiet, comfortable and totally relaxing. For those who can stay longer -- hiking, canoeing, and a visit with the Lewis & Clark route and Nez Perz history.


    Great place to stay!

    This inn is lovely. The food was excellent. Jo is extremely flexible, helpful, interesting, intelligent, and friendly -- she went overboard to accommodate our needs. We stayed in the big house, but would love to spend more time in one of the beautiful cabins. The Clearwater River area is so beautiful!


    Jo More has so much energy! She is such an inspriation!

    My whole family traveled from Texas to see the Moore Family! The views are truly amazing! I cannot wait to take my friends up for a cooking class! Jo's kitchen is so welcoming! And the food that comes from that kitchen is scrumptious! And her selection of wine, well I loved all I tried! I would Highly recommend The High Country Inn! A must see! A must come back and see again! Thank you Jo & Dick!
