The room was adequate and clean on arrival. The shower was adequate and both the Wi-Fi and TV worked well. There is plenty of parking outside and the front desk gave us extra towels when we asked. Both the wall heater and gas fireplace worked ok (the gas wall furnace made some ticking noises that is caused by the metal contracting when it turned off everytime though).

Pros: -The staff let us check in an hour early. -the curtains kept pretty much all the light out at night. Cons: -room was VERY small. -we couldn’t find the primer for the fireplace; we called the staff, they gave us generic instructions, said they would send someone up to help it in a bit, but no one came. -all night long, we heard what sounded like water dripping from the ceiling. -this one’s from my wife: the bed was NOT comfortable.

Great family getaway!

Great place right on the lake, very cozy feeling cabin with a real wood fireplace that was great for making s'mores with the kids and plenty of space. enjoyed the balcony with the view over the lake with the morning cup of coffee. The full kitchen was nice so that we could cook our own breakfast and get to the mountains early without having to find food on the way out for the day.

The facility has the honestly earned character of a motel built before 1950. Our room had a gas fireplace that worked after the Manager came to our room to relight the pilot light. The motel is in need better maintenance or restoration, but is livable as it is. The location is excellent, close to the lake and to downtown shops and very good restaurants. We chose the place because it was interesting, conveniently located, and inexpensive rather than shiny and new, so we were happy with our stay.

Clean and cozy

The place is definitely dated, but is cozy (many rooms have gas fireplaces), clean, and convenient. The front desk staff are polite but not always available, but that is manageable. Will definitely stay again.
