Castle Rock Country Inn was a very nice place to stay. As it's a bit out of town, you need to drive to restaurants. Breakfast was very good with a lot of options. Staff are great and check-in was easy and quick. Would stay here again.

Kim’s place was wonderfully homey, the view absolutely breathtaking and the breakfast spread a delightful surprise. The place is a bit dated but the service and homey bed and breakfast feel definitely made up for it. We really appreciated the hospitality and local recommendations!
