Check-in was a ghost town--no one around, had to hunt down someone who looked annoyed we existed. Room felt like a dusty antique store explosion: creaky floors that groaned like they were dying every time you moved, poor lighting so dim you could barely see your own feet, and lightbulbs that were straight-up burned out. Bed was okay if you like lumpy mattresses from the 1800s, but the pillows were flat as pancakes and smelled faintly of old attic. Breakfast? More like a sad self-serve disaster. Tables were dirty, no utensils half the time, trash overflowing, and the "continental" spread was basically stale muffins, watery coffee that tasted like regret, and some sad fruit that had seen better days. No host interaction, no warm vibes--just grab-and-go neglect. The whole place had this weird abandoned energy. No real hospitality, plumbing sounded like a freight train every time someone flushed, and the "quaint" antiques just made everything feel grimy and neglected. Paid way too much for a night of discomfort and disappointment. Zero charm, zero comfort, zero reason to ever come back. It just sucked. Hard. Avoid unless you enjoy paying for regret. 0/10, would rather sleep in the car.

It had been hot all week. 105+ and my two prior lodging choices that advertised AC and WiFi, both failed to deliver AC or WiFi or allow canceling a non-cancelable resv. I arrived without a firm resv, but booking.com said they had one room available. In the lobby is a sign directing guests to call a phone number. No answer. There is another sign with a different number. No answer. There is a button on the wall to summon help. No help arrived. I found my way to the adjacent restaurant. Servers directed me to the bartender. No clue if a room was available. No idea if the rooms had AC. They have window AC units that hat work just fine. No idea if the room had a private or shared bath. Room 4 has a private bath. The only way to book and check-in while standing in the lobby is booking.com. I booked one night. It was then I discovered that the door to room #4 would not close. Further inspection revealed that the strike plate was not (mortised) flush into the door frame. Examining the door, it became apparent that the door could be forced closed, but only if I really put my shoulder in to it. The room and bath were clean and spacious. The stairway is a tad narrow, but that is hardly unexpected for vintage buildings. The restaurant staff is friendly, but uninformed about the lodging operation. The towels were thin and coarse, not plush. They reminded me of the earlier Days Inn stay that was a 0-star experience. I ordered nachos from the bar. Nothing special. Think gas station nachos. The bartender is friendly and makes a damn fine margarita. On-street parking only. Breakfast was not available, so off to the market. Would I return? Maybe.

The parking lot is nicely set up the lodge is surrounded by lovely plants and trees. We had a nice patio set outside which we used to have dinner. Our room was quite large w a big bed there's two night stands a desk area large tv on and dresser; another bed in an alcove is great for another person to have a bit of privacy w a night stand. The room had a microwave, fridge and coffee maker w a selections of coffee and teas. Bathroom was large and a great shower area w a nice shower head that had good hot water when needed. The amenities were awesome. The soap smelled great and had an amazing exfoliating seeds build in. The body lotion felt so luxurious on my skin. Towels and bed linens were perfect. If you read my posts about food you know I'm a water snob well when lodging in a sheet snob (my husband would say I'm like the princess and the pea). The sheets were soft and comfy. We had a restful nights sleep and awesome shower w great pressure. We then we welcomed to a breakfast all homemade even seemed the juices we fresher squeezed. I had the savory crusty bread w egg, tomato, kielbasa, ham and cheese inside it was so yummy. They had whole wheat cinnamon rolls that the frosting was great as well as the great flavor. The overnight chia was great loved the creaminess of the mixture but the fruit on top was fresh. The oj was as fresh and the coffee (I'm not a coffee drink but my mom said it was great). She gave us banana bread to take and it was dense and great. We ate breakfast in the back garden which was pretty and peaceful. They had patio tables, picnic tables but also had chaises and fire pits. I love that they had a bowl of chocolate to choose from rather than a chocolate on your pillow (which always seems weird and bring bugs. I would go here again and hope I get back to the area to do

Jenny also took me to a few more lookout points because I had only one day there. Food: WOW! I'm vegetarian and Matt customized the entire breakfast and some unexpected treats to my needs. Ginger pancakes with fresh applebutter and a veggie scramble on day one. For my hike to the Delicate Arch, they packed me an entire snack bag with water and mints! Next morning I needed to leave early, but Matt insisted on making me a breakfast to-go of a sandwich and fruit. They even shared dinner with me my second night when I came back early.

First and foremost, this property is extremely remote -- the nearest food service is a full 16 miles away, and this crucial detail was not mentioned anywhere on the website. For a bed and breakfast, I expected at least some guidance on where to eat or what to do, but that brings me to another issue: the host's communication was slow and unhelpful. When we arrived, there was no one on the property to greet us or provide any kind of orientation. We were left completely on our own to figure things out in an unfamiliar and isolated area. If you're looking for a convenient, welcoming, and well-supported stay -- look elsewhere. This place might work for someone who wants total seclusion and comes fully prepared, but it's definitely not for travelers expecting hospitality or easy access to food and local activities.

We were supposed to have an upstairs room with private bath, but that changed somehow when we arrived.

Beautiful lot with large patios upstairs and downstairs that are oh-so peaceful!! Spent lots of time talking with Bob, and he was very accommodating and easy-going. I loved having breakfast in their cozy and bright dining area near the kitchen overlooking the mountains and watching numerous hummingbirds come to feed on their upper patio (felt like we were Bob's personal guests). Bob was also so kind to let our dog, LeLa (who is well-behaved) stay in the dining room with us while we had breakfast. We did not see much of Ursula (his wife) as she had to work during the days that we were there, but our brief meeting with her was very pleasant! We highly recommend this place!!!
