Great stay!

Great stay! Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Coffee provided in the room and in the pantry area. Even though there was no free breakfast... there were items available in the pantry for purchase. There was also a place walking distance nearby for dinner and drinks. Friendly staff!

The Mountain Inn is a nice place. In the summer when we were there, there isn't a lot of things to do nearby, but you're not too far from the North Shore, which is beautiful. The snack room is stacked, but there isn't a breakfast available, though lots of places nearby that are good. Thanks for a comfortable clean stay.

Great Hotel and Great Area

Our overall stay was great however check-in was a fiasco. We had 2 back to back reservations for total 5 nights and it created drama throughout our stay. Maybe new employees? Not sure. But the room was large, very clean and welcoming, lots of storage, a stocked bathroom. Bed was comfy, pillows flat as a pancake though. Pet friendly and there was a large pet bed, bowls, treats and waste bags in the room (there us a nightly pet fee though). Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby, terrific winery down the street. Great location to hiking, waterfalls, golf and snow sports in the winter. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
