Perfectly Quaint & Cozy

This was the perfect place for us to call home while we explored the area. The owners are wonderful and shared lots of helpful information. Our clean, cozy room had the most comfortable bed and lovely-smelling linens! We’ll definitely stay here again when we return to Keystone!

A true gem in Keystone!

This was hands down the best hotel we’ve ever been to. Service and attention to detail was outstanding. Location was perfect and the charm was unbeatable. We hope to be back someday. Could not recommend more if you’re heading to the Keystone area.

Unfortunately, this property is not ADA accessible or compliant. My sister uses a mobility scooter, we were unable to stay since our assigned room on the second floor was only accessible via stairs.

It was awesome staying so close to the main strip of Keystone but also being secluded enough for a quiet good night's rest on a very comfortable bed! Staff was so friendly and the place had character, a beautiful patio, and amazing scenery. It felt safe and clean and comfortable. I will definitely be staying here again!
