My husband and I came for two nights to celebrate a few milestones and just get away. We definitely picked the right place! The staff is incredibly friendly and on top of their jobs. We stayed in a king spa room and didn't realize it would be so spacious and have a kitchenette! We were pleasantly surprised by how HUGE... More

They have help for all the quilters who bring all equipment like sewing machines, tables, chairs, etc. to carry in and set up. Even on the morning of departing, a staff member... More

We have stayed here many times before, but this is the first time since the Stafford family purchased the hotel.

Friendly staff, Very Clean, reasonable rates. No restaurant or bar at the lodge, but very nearby. My favorite, the Depot Restaurant is within walking distance. Pet friendly if needed. Lots to keep children entertained-pool and play area. I will be back!

A two night stay during ski season for around $175(includes taxes) Can't beat it!! Scott was at the desk when we checked in and was very friendly and informative. Set us up with a couple of coupons for a few dollars off skiing at Nubs Nob which was an easy 15 minute drive. Breakfast in the AM was nice. Thanks... More

It was about $10 more than your mid-level chain but soo much... More
