A true gem in Keystone!

This was hands down the best hotel we’ve ever been to. Service and attention to detail was outstanding. Location was perfect and the charm was unbeatable. We hope to be back someday. Could not recommend more if you’re heading to the Keystone area.

It was awesome staying so close to the main strip of Keystone but also being secluded enough for a quiet good night's rest on a very comfortable bed! Staff was so friendly and the place had character, a beautiful patio, and amazing scenery. It felt safe and clean and comfortable. I will definitely be staying here again!
