We had a lovely weekend at the Wayside Inn! Our room was clean and the location was perfect for a quick weekend to ski Cannon, and visit Reklis, and Schilling Beer Co. It was nice to have breakfast included and we took full advantage of the cozy fireplace and TV to watch some Olympics with fellow guests.
