Loved the jetted tub! So roomy! Bed was the most comfortable I've slept on in a long time while on the road. Really enjoyed the hoot owl cafe within walking distance for breakfast. Loved the shampoo and conditioner so much I'm trying to find it now!

Rooms were clean and well appointed. The consideration from the staff was top notch. Not many hotels would offer a sound machine in the room to help drown out the occasional passing train. The free YouTube TV was a nice surprise. The decorations were very charming. Blue Pine local to the area adorns the room in a tasteful way, and the kitchenette was very useful. Great value for the price. And will definitely come back when we are in the area again.

They did a great job renovating this traditional roadside motel. Loved the jacuzzi in the room! It’s right on the road and near rr tracks, so expect to hear that in the night. Very helpful front person and the owners are very nice. The outside door to the room leaks, so I needed to crank up the heat for comfort. If you’re looking for an inexpensive place to stay near a fantastic mountain to ski, I would recommend the Outdoors Inn.

The owners did such a great job renovating this motel! I really appreciated all the small touches - there were plenty of outlets available for charging devices, they provided ear plugs if you were bothered by the road noise (I was not - I did not find it that loud at all), and I loved that they had large bottles of soaps in the bathroom to be more eco-friendly. For a one night stay, I have nothing to complain about and would recommend this place to anyone!

This was an overnight stay on our way to Canada. Even though it was a small motel it was so nicely decorated and in a beautiful setting. I loved our stay here!
