We both enjoyed the fact that we were among only 3 other guests rooms occupied while we were there. For whatever reason(s) may be given, not receiving continental breakast monday through friday made us really sad. Especially since cant stay weekends. Its a good thing i had food with us for early our 1st morning stay. We enjoy the views and friendly staff. We'll be back soon.

The hotel was not far from the town. The room was okay for my son and I for the weekend. I like the look of the hotel however some areas could use a paint and the common areas a clean. My pillow smelled and I regretted not bringing an extra extra blanket to throw over the bed. I ended up putting my coat over the pillows. As we were leaving, our neighbor thought it was cool to let his dog poop next to my car and not pick it up!

Had a great time. I actually feel like I enjoyed staying here more than I would have enjoyed staying at one of the options inside the town. It’s nice to be a little out of the way. Lots of vintage charm while providing a high standard of service. Highly recommend.

The bed was very uncomfortable. The window in the bathroom had an opening and it was too cold to use the bathroom. There was an eyelash in the bedside table.

Fun cabin-like experience in the pines

Fun cabin-like experience in the pines. Nice amenities- cutlery, fridge, microwave coffee maker. Pet friendly, friendly service w complimentary breakfast treats. Beds not great, walls very thin, and too expensive for what it is but probably the market price for the area.

1 star

When we walked in, my first impression was "wow, looks like a murder lodge". Do not expect any comforts here. The "beds" are really cots (and not just the bunk beds). The heat was broken and the rooms are drafty and cold. The bathroom was the size of an airplane bathroom (and so cold given the lack of heat). The walls are thin enough that you can chat with your neighbors. We were mislead by positive reviews. Our family agreed that we would rather camp than stay here again. For a few dollars more, you can stay at the other cute inns in town. Couldn't recommend less.

Cozy Cabin Vibes

We stayed two nights, the room was very cozy. The staff was very polite and knowledgeable about the area's activities. The weather was amazing on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. The rooms are small but make the most of the limited space, if I was going to stay longer than the two nights, I would have opted for their cabins or bigger room. I definitely will be staying here again next time I visit. It's a short walk from the nature center, which is a perk especially if you're planning to be out most of the day and save on gas. I don't have any complaints, we had to buy our hand soap for the bathroom, I don't recommend walking to the town center from here, the road isn't pedestrian-safe and it is a small trek, but that's about it. It was nice to wake up to a basket of food hanging on the door each morning. Overall, if you're looking for a place to stay with a rustic cabin vibe, I hope this review helps you make that decision.
