We had everything we needed.
Pros:

It was an old ski lodge. The room was nice & comfy bed. Breakfast was good and the Inn keeper was very helpful.
We forgot our phone there. I called our number and the Inn keeper answered it! We made our way back to the Lodge
and picked it up. It was stress free. They were very honest and made sure we had everything we needed.

Cons:

Check in was down a flight of stairs. I have a hard time on stairs.

Excellent location and very quiet. The room was huge and didn't expect a real fireplace.
Pros:

The huge tub in the room made up for the hot tub being out of service. Would definitely book a room there again. Very close to all the shopping I needed to do. The price for the room was very reasonable too.

Cons:

Was hoping for the outdoor hot tub to be working. Breakfast was okay. Yogurt was outdated and no danishes plus very limited fresh fruit. The kitchen in the room could use a couple mixing bowls.

Excellent venue with a personal feel. Warm and helpful staff.
Pros:

We were there for a wedding, which meant that our timing did not match with the hotel's standards. The manager (Barbara) was very communicative and helpful in getting our rooms ready early and ensuring the elderly with us didn't have to navigate smartphone apps to get in. Taylor at the front desk was friendly and very helpful to all family members. And, even the cleaning staff arranged their tasks to ensure we could enter and get ready for our important event.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

This property was very cute. It was clean but had the smell of an older place. Kind of musty. The room was also clean. The shower could use an update but it wasn’t a big deal. We were there for a girls weekend and were hoping to use the hot tub. Unfortunately it was closed for maintenance. Make sure to click the “read more” area when booking so that you know if it will be closed or not. It was closed all summer. We didn’t use or check out the sauna but the staff did tell us to give them 15 minutes notice if we wanted to use it so they could start it up. We also didn’t get to experience the breakfast as there was a family reunion that booked most rooms in the hotel. They did offer us a sheet to fill out and hand to them and then they would bring us out our breakfast but we just chose to go elsewhere. Overall this place was just what we needed for our trip minus being able to use the hot tub. I would probably stay there again.
