The Inn was very clean and in a great location! Pull out of the parking lot, make a right turn and you're a few minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park! Make a left turn and you're minutes away from restaurants, coffee shops and the lake!

It's only a short walk into town and a slightly further walk to RMNP. Beautiful view of the Rockies from my room with a patio. Very quiet during mud season, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Cute little mountain gem

I loved this hotel. We stayed in the off season so the restaurant was not open. However, staff were very friendly and gave recommendations. The beds were so soft. Room was cleaned everyday which I liked because we brought dirt in our shoes from the hikes. The hot tub was nice, we used it most nights. Wished it could have been a bit hotter but it was cold outside. The kids like the play area in the back. We would stay here again.
