Do the rooms have air conditioning?
Yes. Every one of our six hotel rooms has its own air conditioning, plus heat for the cold half of the year. Rooms also include a mini fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, cable and smart TV, and free WiFi. Honest context for the mountain: at 8,400 feet, July highs sit in the upper 70s and overnight lows fall into the 40s, so the AC earns its keep on hot afternoons and the night air does the rest. In the cabins, Forest Haven has air conditioning; Bear and Moose use ceiling fans and heating, which is what this elevation usually calls for. More on the mountain climate on our weather page.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a complimentary continental breakfast comes with every hotel room booking. Cabins do not include breakfast because they have full kitchens instead, and the village has its own coffee and breakfast spots a couple of minutes away. If you are leaving before dawn for a park day, tell us and we will help you plan around it.
What is the difference between a room and a cabin?
Rooms are inside the inn: six themed rooms that sleep two to four, with breakfast, air conditioning, a mini fridge and microwave, and a covered deck outside the door. Cabins are separate buildings with a full kitchen, a gas fireplace, a patio with a grill, and space for four to eight, and they are the only stays that take pets. Bear and Moose sit on the hillside just above the inn; Forest Haven is about five minutes up the road and has a private hot tub. Compare our rooms and our cabins side by side.
Do the rooms have private balconies?
No, and we would rather you hear it from us than find out at check in. Rooms 1 through 5 open onto a shared covered deck on the second floor with mountain views, and Scenic Solitude, room 6, has its own ground-floor covered porch. Each cabin has its own private patio.
Which room works if stairs are a problem?
Scenic Solitude, room 6. It is on the ground floor with no stairs between the parking spot and the door, has a roll-in shower with grab bars and an open vanity you can pull straight up to, and sleeps up to four in two queen beds. Rooms 1 through 5 are all on the second floor. Our accessibility page has the full detail, and it is always worth a call before booking so we can match the room to what you need.
Is there a hot tub or a pool?
Forest Haven has a private hot tub for that cabin’s guests, available year round when the weather cooperates. There is no pool and no shared hot tub at the inn itself, so if soaking is part of the trip, book Forest Haven.
Do the cabins have real kitchens?
Yes, real kitchens rather than kitchenettes: full-size fridge, stove top, oven, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishes, and cookware, with a grill out on the patio. That is why cabins suit longer stays and groups who would rather cook than drive to dinner in the dark. Outdoor grill use can be restricted during high fire season, so ask when you book if that matters to your plans.
Can we book two cabins for a bigger group?
Yes. Bear and Moose sit side by side on the same hillside and book together in one checkout: four queen beds, two full kitchens, two living rooms, and room for eight. See group stays for how families and riding groups usually split it up.
