Surf Hotel has grown into an amazing property over the years. Our beds were filled with comfy bedding and plenty of pillows. There was a great wrap around porch with rocking chairs. Amazing views of the river and the mountains. The staff was so friendly! We ate at the restaurant a few times, everything was incredible, especially the s’mores cake. The pool was nice and private. The water felt great. There were a few fireplaces for guest to enjoy. And the coffee offered in the morning lobby was delicious. This place is an excellent get away! Great walking paths, and plenty of other outdoor activities to do. I can’t wait to go back!
