A cozy, welcoming stay with amazing views and the perfect location for exploring the Rockies!
Pros:

We loved the comfortable, rustic-style furniture and spacious room, which was perfect for two. The view from the bar was absolutely amazing, especially with the cozy fireplace tables that create such a welcoming atmosphere. We especially appreciated having a microwave and fridge in the room, as well as complimentary coffee available in the lobby every morning. The hot tub was an extra treat and the perfect way to relax after a week of exploring!

The location is incredibly convenient, just a 2-minute drive from Rocky Mountain National Park, with nearby towns and mountain destinations like Vail and Breckenridge about two hours away along beautiful scenic roads.

The staff were amazing, always helpful, friendly and easygoing.

We would 100% stay here again!

Could be a great place for the right people … just not me
Pros:

It was affordable. Location is good but overstated.

Cons:

Not my favorite property! It’s not charming when it’s old and needs a good cleaning and update on key materials
