  Inn closed

  Showed up for our prepaid reservation to find the inn closed until further notice. No phone call to inform us or refund attempt! Needless to say we’re furious!

  Bed ok, Breakfast excellent

  Our room was larger than some apartments I've lived in and was in good repair. The overall inn, however, looks like it has seen better days. Breakfast was a highlight, incredible food cooked to order.

  We arrived to the Red Elephant to a parking area which was not cleared of snow enough to fit our vehicle. The stairs and entry way were also not cleared of snow and the stairs were packed solid with snow/ice making it rather treacherous to navigate with luggage. Our room had a broken and non-functional doorknob that was literally falling out of the door, the only way to close the door was via the deadbolt. The room had a large sticky spill right in front of the bed which we were immediately stepping in. There was food and trash throughout the room though it appeared the bed had been made with fresh linens. The smoke detector had been removed and there were wires dangling from the ceiling where it was supposed to be, we soon after found the smoke detector just sitting on a shelf in the bathroom. The toilet was full of urine because it was broken and wouldn't flush. A gentleman came up and "fixed" it but it ultimately broke again after a few flushes. We again reported the issue and it appeared to be fixed by the time we returned later that day. It really seems like the owners of this establishment just don't care. They don't clear the snow from their entry way which pretty much says they don't care about the safety of their guests. Our room was dingy and unclean, in fact I bet there is still trash underneath the bed. The bathroom was grimy and dirty. I understand it's an old building but that doesn't excuse the uncleanliness or disrepair.

  Disgusted zero stars

  Don't book here. The inn is terribly run down. The ceiling fan and furniture tops in our room was coated in dust. No toilet paper in the bathroom and the tub had missing/broken tiles. Owner came to fix our TV upon arrival and just stood there with his but crack exposed trying to figure out the 4 remotes but never once pulling up his pants. WOW - we stayed about 20 minutes. I didn't test the water pressure or look under the bed but I'm sure I wouldn't have been impressed. The main entrance wasn't even cleared for guests to be able to safely navigate through the snow banks. There is NO REFUND available so do yourself favor and don't book this listing. Zero stars. Dirty. Unsafe. Creepy vibes.

  Love the red elephant!

  The owners are very sweet and we enjoy every time we go. We hike a ton, and the location you can’t beat with restaurants and trails within an easy driving distance. We loved having breakfast before heading out to the trails. Nice and accommodating always and helpful with our questions. We’re quiet and keep to ourselves, so it’s perfect for us as a landing zone.
