Love the stay

It’s a lodge with character. We stumbled upon it and was very happy to have found it. Fun history. Staff were great from check in to the bar. The walls of the rooms are a bit paper thin 😂

Dog smell in carpets!

They really, really need to stop letting people bring their pets to this hotel. Or remove the carpets and move to another kind of flooring.

There was a wedding here when we arrived. Staff went out of their way to put us in ad quiet a room as possible. It was remarkably quiet give the size of the wedding event. The room was very clean and nice. Very consistent with pictures advertised. Overall, we were very satisfied and would rate this stay as a great value.

Terrible stay.

Horrible stay. The entire hotel was booked with guests of a wedding party that took place right outside our room in the bar parking lot. An outdoor live band from 6-10pm. Then loud music, yelling, screaming, wild behavior and noise until 12mn. The hotel staff answered the phone at 10pm said they would talk with the bar staff. Nothing improved. I had to call the police. The hotel phone went to voicemail after 10pm. Luke warm water in the shower. Had to park in overflow parking and haul our suitcases to the room be at the wedding guests took all the parking. The balcony overlooked the bar and parking lot- no Mountain View. The pool was closed for reconstruction. We weren’t notified of any of this ahead. Do not stay here if you want a peaceful mountain retreat.

It’s worth staying just to see the history behind this, what could be incredible place. We hope they get to finish the restoration as it is amazing. It’s old a very dated, it’s clean inside the room. Off street parking, a great little bar to meet the locals and the bar staff are really nice.
