“ What a place! The boathouse restaurant blew me away with their new menu. Everything smelled so incredible. I had a Boathouse burger with sweet potato fries that was out of this world! The patio is lined with beautiful flowers and the ambience is to die for - you’re overlooking Hayden lake with great food and drinks. What a great spot ! ”
“ Toured Beautiful Hayden Lake and the Boathouse Restaurant with Awesome Outdoor Seating to View it, on 3-10-2025 in Hayden, Idaho. They are preparing for the opening of the 2025 Season. The General Manager gracious and delightful touring the property with me. The property is well maintained and the Boat Dock is in very good condition and ready for the upcoming season. The outdoor dining at the Boathouse Restaurant is sure to please the guest with open views of the Gorgeous Lake Hayden and Delicious Food options. Chef ”
“ We came in with a huge group. Food came out reasonably fast and the food was great. Drinks were a little pricey but everything was good. The view was incredible. ”
“ Quick Service. Amazing Staff. Quality Food. Try the shareable drink called the Sand Pail After some boating, we docked at the marina to grab some food and drinks. There were 10 of us and we were all served within 10-15 minutes. The food was fresh and filling. We ended up staying for the fun atmosphere, good drinks, and friendly staff. We all loved the fries, sandwiches, sauerkraut hot doffs, and burgers. Can’t wait to make this our regular boating stop. I can’t emphasize the accommodating staff. With the recent change in management, the managers and staff are so friendly and welcoming to this dock side paradise. ”
“ This is a lovely place for lunch. The server was friendly and helpful, and the sweet potato waffle fries were great! Also a beautiful view. ”
