It was awesome staying so close to the main strip of Keystone but also being secluded enough for a quiet good night's rest on a very comfortable bed! Staff was so friendly and the place had character, a beautiful patio, and amazing scenery. It felt safe and clean and comfortable. I will definitely be staying here again!

Super cute hotel on the side of the road, near stores/shops.
Easy check in, front desk called to confirm and texted room code (no need to check in upon arrival).
Parking is on the road right outside hotel.

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.

One of the most friendly places I have stayed at. The room was just repainted with updated carpet and the bed was very conformable. More on the scale of a bed at a Hyatt hotel. Close enough to down town that you could walk to any of the stores/restaurants.

The lodge was great. The only negative comment would be the paper thin walls, I could hear everything. Also the hotel is not ADA complacent.
