ADA noncompliant

Unfortunately, this property is not ADA accessible or compliant. My sister uses a mobility scooter, we were unable to stay since our assigned room on the second floor was only accessible via stairs.

Perfectly Quaint & Cozy

This was the perfect place for us to call home while we explored the area. The owners are wonderful and shared lots of helpful information. Our clean, cozy room had the most comfortable bed and lovely-smelling linens! We’ll definitely stay here again when we return to Keystone!

A true gem in Keystone!

This was hands down the best hotel we’ve ever been to. Service and attention to detail was outstanding. Location was perfect and the charm was unbeatable. We hope to be back someday. Could not recommend more if you’re heading to the Keystone area.

This is a family owned lodge and they are warm, friendly, and helpful. They invite the guests in the morning for pastries and a light breakfast. The room was clean but a little rustic. The bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this property.
