The bathroom, refrigerator and sink were spotless. It has vintage charm like you are spending the night at grandmas. A lot of the place looks original. The owners are very personable and so down to earth. The grounds have a beautiful river in the back and seasonal pool and fire pit. We will definitely be back when we go up there.

Staff were excellent. Room was clean. Bed could be more comfortable. The seal was missing on the bottom of the door so we had to put a towel to keep the cold wind out.

Great clean room. Had an older room feeling but it’s nice to see what rooms were like in older days. This place was built in the traditional cookie cutter style of the old days. Everything was fully functional and was clean as could be. If you want modern and industrial it’s not for you but for a romantic weekend it’s great. Beds were very comfortable and staff was extremely helpful when asked questions. Very quiet place that anyone would appreciate with a short walk to a beautiful River spot to enjoy.

Don't let the outside fool you. This location was safe, very clean inside the room, and extremely comfortable. The two office personnel with whom I dealt, were very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend if you want a place to stay while hiking in the area are visiting local attractions.
