Very much like a luxury cabin with air conditioning. The bed soft and took up most of the room.

Great place. Located within walking distance from the downtown, my wife and I could enjoy both Restaurants and shopping. There was a great highing and trails to follow with in a few miles. Definitely a return visit will be scheduled.

Great inn with a nice bar and band on Thursday night from 6-9pm. Outdoor music is a bit loud and off-putting, but service was very good at front desk and cozy fireplace was nice in lobby.

One of the best days that I’ve ever had! This charming mountain getaway feels like you’re walking through a Hallmark town. Would highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for a charming fall getaway.

Location, it quiet and close to restaurants I liked the way things were in walking distance and was able to enjoy the culture and different shops and eateries. I would recommend it to everyone as a great weekend getaway.

Stayed at this property numerous times over the years. They’ve made wonderful updates and it truly feels like a mountain lodge with an amazing bar and gorgeous seating area. The restaurant was closed so we didn’t get to try it. Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet escape to a truly charming inn.

Beautiful property in such a great location! The rooms were on the smaller side but so beautiful & cozy, and honestly we wanted to spend most of our time on the first floor by the fire or outside enjoying a glass of wine!

We stayed in the bunkhouse. The room was extremely small. The queen bed basically took up the whole room. No bedside outlets or smart tv. The walls are so thin we could hear the people next to us all night. For the price, we didn’t think this stay was worth it.

A wonderful stay. Loved the cozy, rustic charm, though it was a little too luxurious to really be called rustic. Also had a delicious dinner at the Ruffed Grouse, part of the hotel.

For the area it is an appropriately nice stay:) you have to appreciate the historic structure and experience.

Location was A+ as well as bedding. However, the bed filled most of the room therefore not leaving room for anything else. The size of the closet was 1.5 ft x 4.5 ft at best.
