This place was a gem! Nice staff, clean rooms, amazing homemade breakfast! My only suggestion would be to have a brighter light in the bathroom, but that’s all! Was nice to be able to walk to many places from there.

Best hotel

The hotel was very peaceful and you could see the elk when it was feeding time. The hotel had rocking chair out side for you to sit and relax in. I could not asked for a better time. We had stayed in other hotel and pay alot more but this one is one of the nicest one there is. You could walk to the store and see the river across the street.

Bedding, including mattress, needs to be replaced. Furniture is outdated and the room in general needs to be refreshed. There was an overwhelming odor of room refresher or perhaps some type of cleaner. The room, in general, did appear to be clean.

The staff did not let us know what the Wifi password is or did they have a piece of paper to give us. We tried calling the front desk to no avail and finally had to go to the front and press the buzzer several times until someone came out.
