Room is adorable but bathroom & shower are tiny. Manageable but just barely.
No hanging hooks or clothes storage at all! Wet winter ski clothes need to be hung. Drawers are not useful as an only option. I was displeased having to pile stuff on the floor.
Immediately after arrival, the sink was clogged. Took hours to contact someone become they failed to advise of any onsite support staff. Jed turned out to be great, very professional & apologetic but dealing with a clogged sink for hours when only staying for one night is extremely frustrating. No cell service so I had to drive 10 miles out of the way to get service to send a message.
Super disappointed as i had high expectations based on other reviews.
Jed, the onsite innkeeper, was great though.
Wifi isn’t working, keeps going in and out and low bar, so can’t make any texts to the owner/manager. Here to do some work so its making it really hard. Planning on doing the trails tomorrow so hopefully the morning goes better!

Overall pretty uncomfortable. Room and bathroom were very small for two people. Walls are super thin and conversations/noises carry very well, making it difficult to sleep well.
Small but clean and warm room. Overall, we had a good stay. The host was very responsive and answered all of our questions quickly

Owners are so nice and welcoming! I contacted them before arriving as I had things that needed refrigeration and they were quick to get back to me about the mini fridge In The common room.
The living room was beautiful decorated for the Holidays and it is a charming older house with a beautiful fireplace.
I stayed in one of the cabins and loved it! Very comfy bed and nice amenities, but my favorite feature was the little gas fireplace. In winter it was lovely!
Nicely appointed rooms and lobby area. Walls/floor insulation is very thin though. I stayed in the Pinkham Room and could hear the people in the room below me very late into the night and early in the morning.
Staff is warm and welcoming and the inn is a great value for the location.
