This was such a cute lodge in the heart of Nederland, CO. The included breakfast hit the spot and the rooms were perfectly comfortable. However, the best part for us, was the game room upstairs. Our kids loved hanging out and made full use of the common room.

How strange to ask guests not to request additional toilet paper until the roll is depleted? This property is showing its age: worn and not very clean. In addition, there is no coffee avail on the property before 8am. Not very convenient for jet lagged travelers. None in the rooms, nor lobby. When did coffee become a luxury? Finally, breakfast was also interesting. The area blew a fuse, a known problem if more than 2 of the appliances are plugged in. That’s ok, here’s a shared butter tub with barely any left. I know you are the only hotel in Nederland, but don’t you want to do better?

Comfortable stay, great service. Front desk responsive to the TV not working. Heating easy to control, easy to get ventilation, enough power outlets. Only negative was the shower control didn't completely block the bath faucet from flowing. Would highly recommend.

Great employees ! Quaint property built with logs in a beautiful location but the mattress was really bad- very soft.... Breakfast waffles were amazing and coffee nice and hot. But for the bed we would return. The bathroom was immaculate and the tub/shower had railings which was very helpful.
