Stunning room with fireplace and view over pond to mountains beyond. Staff very welcoming and escorted us to room. Chef was a true gift to the Inn, his highest goal is to make the customer happy. Beautiful facility, perfect location.

It feels like home when we stay here. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Our room was upgraded and we loved the fireplace and jacuzzi tub! Breakfast is delivered right to your room in a lovely picnic basket. This was our second stay. We will definitely be back.

This is our second time staying here and once again it did not disappoint. Room is lovely, bed extremely comfortable with beautiful linens, gas fireplace in the room that also connects with the bathroom. Staff is friendly, helpful but not intrusive. Breakfast delivered to your room in the morning is a treat. Best of all, we arrived early at 12nn to beat a snow storm and we were able to check in early. Highly recommend!
