This is my third visit to Fireside. My room had newer appliances, and it was well-kept and clean. They are dog-friendly and in the heart of town. I came up for the Halloween parade, had a front-row seat, and followed the parade to the circle. I'll return soon!

Amazing room. Quant furnishes are exceptional and from the Great Depression. Bed upstairs is really close to a balcony that is open to the downstairs. Stairs railing is loose at the bottom and an issue to go to the restroom in the middle of the night with no lights. I’m older and my wife booked this and having that bathroom so far was a concern. The bathroom mirror was set for a man who’s 6’5 and she could not use it. Otherwise great room and amenities!!

Overall this lodging was a good value for the price. Pros: The room was very clean upon arrival. The area was quiet. It had a very large comfortable bed. Nice shower with good shower head and water pressure. Cozy Kitchen. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Convenient parking (next to entrance). Within easy walking distance to town. Good communications with host. Cons: The interior was dark (even during the day). Needs better lighting. Bed was too big for the room, limiting access to the closet and thermostat. This cabin (Ponderosa) needed comfortable outside seating. Other cabins had nice chairs outside. The ceiling fan did not work.

Needs some TLC

The king sized bed and pillows were comfortable, but we didn't use the stone fireplace because it wasn't cool enough yet. Check-in went smoothly because we used a code, not a key. The A/C worked well and the location was a short walk from the center of town. There were some light bulbs missing (over the kitchenette sink, the overhead ceiling fan), so it was very dim in the room. The reading lights over the nightstand tables were too dim to read by (one was strobing). The shades on the window provided privacy but did not block the security light outside. The grapevine outdoor furniture and the place in general exhibits deferred maintenance, looking overall tired.

We really enjoyed our stay. We booked the Cedar cabin. It had two rooms / three beds, a full kitchen (no dishwasher), as well as an table for four people. Price was very competitive with the market for the night we stayed. Me and two kids. Very comfortable. Easy walk to town. Our room had a dedicated parking spot with overflow parking on property if more than one car per room. Definitely will visit The Fireside Inn again.

We really enjoyed our stay in”Fern”. It was a charming well appointed cabin located walking distance from town. We never used our car. There were outdoor couches under the pine trees which were very nice to hang out in. Everything was clean and parking was assigned and right by our room. We would definitely stay there again.
