Excellent hotel! The views are nice and relaxing. The cabins, albeit small, are quiet. The breakfast, which is not included in the cantina, is a culinary adventure and highly recommended. The biggest frustration we experienced is the ill-organized and often late shuttle service. Other than that, it is worth a visit.

Loved the property w super cute & comfortable cabins. Lots & lots of flowers everywhere. Fun restaurant “tAKo” on site, plus several others in walking distance. It’s a very hilly property so it’s not for the weak-knee’d!! Lots of stairs or slopes roads to choose from. Highly recommend!!

Let me do a criticism sandwich with bad things sandwiched by what I liked. First, staff who picked us up from train station (Philip) and staff who dropped us at our room were awesome. Night staff who wouldn’t answer the phone when we needed a golf cart to get back up the mountain to our room and morning staff who were let’s say difficult and rude, not cool.

Small cabins were cute, nice and clean, young staff was very nice and helpful, good taco restaurant onsite. Just be prepared to walk steep terrain that is dirt and or rock stairs to get to town. They do bring your luggage to your room though which does help.

Just ok

Beware that this place doesn’t include a refrigerator - just an ice chest outside, and no microwave. And you have to schedule the hot tub time. And you can’t park in front of your room. Overall it was fine but I’d stay elsewhere next time.

John was the most friendly staff member at the property -- if it wasn't for him, this property would receive 2 stars. The '$20 breakfast to go' was disgusting. The shuttle service was a joke. Stay somewhere else, especially if you have small kids. The stairs were steep with a lot of them!

The property was difficult to locate. We did call and received directions. Staff was very helpful in general. The TV in our room did not work and we were unable to connect to the Internet. We did reach out to staff…who came to fix the TV…still did not work. We really didn’t need the TV or Internet, however if it’s offered, it would be nice if it worked. Beautiful setting.

Cool concept. Way overpriced for what you get.

Cool cabins on the edge of a cliff. Way too much money for what you get. Peak prices in shoulder season, awkward everything in terms of operations, hours, hot tub/sauna use, driveway. Don't want to criticize but don't have a ton to compliment either. Would I stay here again? If there was nothing else available in the area, yes.

Beautiful but inconvenient

The Crow’s Nest is charming, with little cabins nestled into the hillside, great views, and lovely plantings. Unfortunately we found it to be very inconvenient. We traveled in by train, and while the hotel offers a limited local shuttle, they are very inflexible about when/where they will go. Because the hotel is up a steep hill, going anywhere means a decently tough climb up and down a steep trail. We knew about the elevation in advance but thought we’d be able to eat onsite at the hotel restaurant to avoid lots of ups and downs. It was closed during our stay so we had to look for other places to eat on foot. The staff were also unable to help us with moving our luggage down the hill at checkout due to the rigid shuttle operation schedule - unwilling to make a 5 minute trip down the hill because it was off schedule. That was tough to navigate as a family traveling with a young child who had to make an early morning scheduled departure. Overall, this place could be great, but feels like it’s in transition and not quite ready to host guests with varied needs. Definitely would not recommend for anyone with mobility challenges or concerns with managing steep hikes.
