Great location, great staff, room was perfect, yup, I will be returning
Pros:

The location is awesome. Close enough to town, grocery stores etc, but the property is in a beautiful setting set apart from traffic, etc. It's a large property and there are lovely walks to take that are very relaxing. There are also more hiking trails close by (some as close as just 10min away). Check in was easy, and we were able to get an early check in. The staff is very friendly and helpful!
The room, while a tad outdated, was clean, and very large, which was nice as we had a 4 yr old with us and it gave her plenty of space.

Cons:

No complaints at all about this Inn.

Pros:

Available on short notice. They do not take cash. And if you use your card the fees plus $100 security deposit will be charged to your card. I did not know they didnt accept cash. I thought it would be used just for reservation. I guess i dont get out much. But anyway, the next day my deposit was put back on my card. So i was a happy customer!

Cons:

It just so happened to be the biggest snow storm in i dont how long, and we were heading to Reno. But the roads were closed due to so much snow. But the next day they opened the roads.

Very clean but the room was badly designed, with no desk.
Pros:

Very clean. Could not have been cleaner. Location is convenient to town. Quiet

Cons:

No desk. Floors were cold even though the temps outside were in the high 70s: There should have been a throw rug or two at least. It took more than five minutes for the water in the sink and shower to heat up. Trash was piled up outside my door next to a trash can for five of my seven day stay. The shampoo, conditioner and body lotion provided in the shower were all empty. The wall between bed and the lounging area (two chairs and a coffee table) prevented watching the TV from one chair and awkwardly from the other. The hotel did not offer a hot breakfast, not a deal breaker but uncommon these days.

Pros:

The property was really cool. You could spend a lot of the day exploring the grounds. We wished the train would have been going but maybe next time. Would stay again.

Cons:

I had requested prior to getting there, if we could have one of the newly renovated rooms. But when we got there apparently it wasn't doable because we booked through a third party app.
