Great place. Located within walking distance from the downtown, my wife and I could enjoy both Restaurants and shopping. There was a great highing and trails to follow with in a few miles. Definitely a return visit will be scheduled.

Cozy in with happening restaurant and bar

Great inn with a nice bar and band on Thursday night from 6-9pm. Outdoor music is a bit loud and off-putting, but service was very good at front desk and cozy fireplace was nice in lobby.

One of the best days that I’ve ever had! This charming mountain getaway feels like you’re walking through a Hallmark town. Would highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for a charming fall getaway.

Beautiful property in such a great location! The rooms were on the smaller side but so beautiful & cozy, and honestly we wanted to spend most of our time on the first floor by the fire or outside enjoying a glass of wine!

Stayed at this property numerous times over the years. They’ve made wonderful updates and it truly feels like a mountain lodge with an amazing bar and gorgeous seating area. The restaurant was closed so we didn’t get to try it. Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet escape to a truly charming inn.

Relaxed rustic elegance

A wonderful stay. Loved the cozy, rustic charm, though it was a little too luxurious to really be called rustic. Also had a delicious dinner at the Ruffed Grouse, part of the hotel.

Our room was just what we needed as a retreat from our couple of busy days in town. The outdoor space was great and the bar on site had very sweet staff.

The bunkhouse was rustic but comfy. Perfect place for our puppy’s first hotel stay. Very quiet. Walked to all the restaurants and shops.

Great location in town. Walls were a bit thin in the bunkhouse, and we had a dog above our room, so could hear it walking around all evening.

Great low-key spot. Enjoyed the Blues and Brews night on Thursday, and the room was comfortable, and well appointed. Fireplace Coffee and Muffin on a rainy Friday was exactly what I needed.

Small and charming

Inn is very cozy with an antique Lodge aesthetic. Rooms are small but with thoughtful details and nice appointments. The mattresses were comfy and the linens great!

Location was A+ as well as bedding. However, the bed filled most of the room therefore not leaving room for anything else. The size of the closet was 1.5 ft x 4.5 ft at best.
