“Quaint B&B”

6/7 found this review helpful

This is a nice little B&B with beautiful views. We stayed one day and night at the end of a backpacking trip, six of us in three rooms (out of the five rooms the place has). There are also rental cabins seperate from the main building, but I did not see any of those.

Rooms are very small. Decorations are quaint and appropriate. Rooms and bathrooms are clean, but with a few minor maintenance problems, nothing big.

Common area is a very nice place to lounge, play board games and stay warm. Beautiful views. Grounds include a small pond, benches, and more great views.

Staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. This and the views are the biggest pluses. They did charge us when asking for extra soap and/or shampoo, which seemed inappropriate, but fees were minimal. There is a small gift shop in the office, for small snacks and gifts.

Breakfast was one prepared item (a tasty little concoction of scrambled eggs and some other stuff), and a lot of available add-ons (the usual bagels, muffins, teas, coffee, etc.). Snacks are also around for midday (popcorn, biscotti, etc.).

Be aware, if you are backpacking in or out, that there are no restaurants within short walking distance for lunch or dinner. There is one place in Twin Lakes, 4.5 miles distant, and beyond that it's a long ways. Don't expect to easily find food nearby if you lack a vehicle.

Overall, the location is great (except for lack of dining), staff friendly, food OK, rooms average and pricing very reasonable ($60-90 per room per night). The cabins are probably much more spacious.
