Overall a really nice stay. Rocky start with having been given 3 different sets of room keys. First room on 3rd floor had someone’s belongings in it. We were given another room but then given keys to a 3rd room before we even got to 2nd. In fairness the hotel is being renovated both inside and out. Room was nice and clean, continental breakfast and pub food were fine and pub had a very good female guitarist and singer for entertainment. I was super impressed with the accommodating restaurant staff and ladies at front desk who checked us out! And convenient to the glider airfield across the road.

We had a wonderful stay at the Inn. Staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was a great way to start the day and we enjoyed the hot tub at the end of each day's activities. We always enjoy staying here in the wintertime.

Beautiful inn in a wonderful setting for Nordic skiing. Staff were excellent and informative. It is an old inn so if you’re looking for television in your room, not the place for you. Breakfast was excellent and included as was a ski pass for the day. Also aloud to store some items while we skied after check out.

It is a nice charming old hotel. It offers nice family activities. The staff was really helpful, the breakfast was fine. I think the hotel had a problem sewage, it had a disturbing smell at certain times of the day.

My guess is that they spend more money on marketing, and possibly paying folks to remove bad reviews, than they do on maintaining the property. The property is run down with a mud parking lot. The single pane glass window in our bedroom was less than 50’ from the rural road, so you hear every vehicle. There was little traffic at night, but by 5:30 AM there was a steady stream of folks going to work. No independent temperature control in the rooms. They have ancient, noisy radiators. Our room heated up to about 78 each night, forcing you to open the windows…making traffic noise worst. Our "Superior" room was tiny. No place to put a suitcase, except inside the closet, on the floor. No TV in the room. Only two outlets. A tiny bathroom like some travel trailers. The "Lounge" and the restaurant never opened during our stay. We received an email AFTER the cancellation deadline, telling us they would not be open Sunday – Wednesday, but saying there were dining options in town… they fail to mention the entire town is closed Sunday – Wednesday, and we had to drive to the next town to find food or get a drink. The door to the back deck (pictured in their ads) remained locked during our stay...so no firepit or relaxing with a drink. Staff was somewhere between indifferent and rude. On check in, they wrote it on the guest booking form...a terrible security risk. The hotel was so bad we checked out a day early, knowing we would lose our money for the third night.

I love the area but would not choose the Inn to stay at again. VERY limited handicapped parking and no access to pub or game room (including the only TV on the property) as a result of my handicap. Exceptionally quiet and beautiful views tho.
