Wanted to stay in an old schoolhouse like the one I went to school in. Something novel

There were trains coming through the area every two hours at night, blowing their horns. My husband and I didn’t sleep much. We were given a room on the top floor, that meant climbing several sets of stairs to haul our suitcases, as there was not an elevator for this. Our bill showed a charge of three percent to use a charge card. Well when booking online, how else is a person to pay! The extra fees added up

The rooms were all decorated beautiful with the theme of each classroom. The Principles office had huge windows with a view of Downtown Bonners Ferry. The bed was very comfortable. The hot tub was very relaxing after a day of driving. The breakfast was delicious.

There's nothing I didn't like. Will recommend it to others and will definitely return myself one day

Jeri & Frank were absolutely the best. The breakfast oh my word .... Delicious! The character and atmosphere of a place is historical and comforting. Some noise, yes as to be expected; Birds, train in the distance, rain on a tin roof all of which I enjoy and can sleep soundly through however, for those light sleepers they do provide earplugs. The bed in room 1 was so very comfortable the perfect firmness yet felt like a cloud. I look forward to returning! Thank you for having us, Lisa Mason

Every space in this old school house was set up perfectly. It was quaint, comfortable and authentic. Our room was spacious, very private and the deck area with pool and hot tub was perfect. Breakfast was delicious and the hosts were so kind and helpful giving us some tips on what to see in the area.

Location is very accessible and convenient, and the Viking is so impressive.. The owner Gerry gave such a wonderful overview of the history of the schoolhouse. She seems to take great pride and joy in preserving this historical landmark. She made it very interesting on check-in and throughout our stay. She also told us so many interesting sights to see in the area. The breakfast was outstanding. It was not a buffet, but a sumptuous, fully plated meal served to us on fine china. The rooms are all unique and very comfortable. Our family had a wonderful time here and we will definitely be back.

Everything was excellent, but if I were going to say one thing, I would have liked to have been able to access the coffee or tea in the afternoon /evening.

Everything!! It was quiet and comfortable and everything you would hope it to be! The sweetest family running the Bed and Breakfast. It is obvious how much they. Are and want your visit to be wonderful. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

Loved everything!

We drove to Bonner's Ferry for a family celebration and Northside School was in a perfect location to come and go to the various events. Jerri & Frank and their family made us very welcome right from check-in. The amazing part was how very gracious they were when my husband and I both came down with the flu on Saturday, we were suppose to check out on Sunday!! Someone in our family/friends had caught it and shared it with 9 of the 20 of us before the weekend was over )~; The Duartes made it very simple for us to stay another night so we could just rest all day Sunday! They offered to make us some special super simple snacks, soup, tea or even go to the store for us, if necessary! Thankfully, we didn't require that much attention, but it was wonderfully reassuring that they were there to help us through the day! We were able to get up and drive home to Portland on Monday morning, but just can't imagine how awful it would have been were it not for these folks kindness and attention! Thank you Thank you Thank you

Can't think of a thing!

Loved the charm and the mystic of the place. The place was .6 miles from town about a 15 min walk to down town. The staff was excellent and the morning breakfast was amazing. I would recommended the place to stay at.

The old building, antiques and collectable made for a homey and educational environment. My room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The shower was a walk in and easy to navigate and get to a perfect temperature and pressure. Breakfast was colorful and delicious. The family who owns and operates the B & B are open, friendly and hospitable. If you have trouble climbing stairs make sure to ask for a main floor room. I had lots of help carrying my luggage up the stairs which I really appreciated after a long drive. I wish I had time to spend more than one night!

Wonderful, helpful hosts who provided a sheet of information about outdoor activities (hikes to waterfalls, etc.) that we found very helpful. Comfortable and clean room; quiet B&B; considerate guests. I used the pool and hot tub twice and had them both to myself. Homemade cookies at check-in.

The breakfasts could have been a little more robust, as far as the options available. But the fresh, seasonal fruit and egg strata were very good.
