Super friendly and helpful hosts. Cute little cozy rooms. Affordable. On very cold nights, would pack a pair of slippers as the old rooms stay a bit chilly.
Great place to stay before climbing Tabeguache Peak. Friendly, helpful staff and comfortable beds, right off highway, enjoyed the old school atmosphere.
Last minute stop while on the road from Golden Co to Taos NM. Nice firepit, comfortable bed, bit overpriced for area and room. No ice machine or breakfast, 169.00 for one night. Lady who checked ua in very nice and helpful.
The hosts were lovely and made some recommendations in the area for food. We didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the patio and firepit due to weather. The room was small but clean and well attended. Perfect overnight stop on our road trip.

Uniquely re-done little motel. Quirky, cute and amazingly comfortable. Beautiful outside areas to relax in, as well. We would have enjoyed staying there longer. Will definitely stay there again.
I can not express how AMAZING this property is! The owners are the BEST! The location is excellent, and the rooms are immaculate. We started planning our next stay before our vacation was over. We can’t wait to go back!
