For an authentic Rocky Mountain experience, this is the place to stay. It really felt like a true mountain hideaway with a wonderful throw-back spirit to days gone by. The ambiance and smell of the fireplace as I entered the lobby, the historical aspect of all the past visitors and the history of the keys, the wonderful three-course breakfast, the character of the facility, the sights and sounds of the hummingbirds outside our window, the view of the mountains, the smell of the forest, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the character of the rooms, just made the stay one I'll always remember. It will definitely be at the top of my list the next time I stay near the Rocky Mountain National Park.
