A favorite.

We love the Fireside Inn, and stay every year when our kid goes to AstroCamp. It is the kind of place you almost don’t want to tell your friends about. Super friendly owners, very available as needed. A little routine maintenance in some of the larger cabins would not go amiss.

The bedroom needs room darkening shades. There should be additional in the living room and kitchen areas. The bathroom tiles are peeling. The living room is very spacious and has a gorgeous view of the trees. There is a normal-size kitchen.

The best thing about the home is being able to walk to the town. And the hot tub is clean and a great addition. Kitchen is big and well stocked. The only drawback for me personally was the big bison head staring at the master bed. I couldn’t sleep in there. So I slept in one of the little rooms. Also there is no window coverings in the big room so you are definitely getting up with the sun

I’ll start off by saying that the location of this property was perfect. It was walking distance to the main town which made it very convenient. Even with that, I would not stay here again. I stayed in the Redwood cabin and it looked NOTHING like the photos. The photos online made the room look trendy, hip and upgraded. Instead, the room was dusty, outdated and some things in the room were broken and falling apart. I hope the other cabins are in better condition.

Nice location close to the town center. The rooms were cozy but the walls are very thin so you can hear everything in the adjoining rooms. Also the bed and pillows were quite uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good nights sleep.
