"Great place to stay for skiing!"

"This was a stay "back in time". Most importantly, it was clean and quiet. Our grandparents had homes like our room and we are now grandparents, so it was awhile ago. So, it was very nostalgic for us, but we felt unsafe in the bathroom. The shower curtains were in the bottom of the tub and would have been easy to trip up on. There was only one outlet for us to re-charge our electronics on. The lighting was very poor. We somewhat enjoyed our stay because of the nostalgic factor, but really...

"We had a great time. But seeemed a little over priced for what it is. The place could be better if some more effort were put into it. But the owners are very sweet, and house has great charm!"

"What a neat little find! My son and I wanted to see snow and go tubing near the mountains. They have two really cool cabins so there’s a lot of privacy and a beautiful location in the forest. Highly recommend."

"The property was beautiful and well maintained. Our cabin was cozy and inviting. Our only comfort complaint was the pillows (very flat!) and mattress (a bit hard!). But the views were gorgeous, the horses and goats loved visitors and dinner at the Inn was a treat. Make sure to grab a cocktail at the on-site cocktail bar! We will surely visit again!"

"We have stayed in lots of B&Bs, but this lodge is the most beautiful we have ever seen. It is hard to describe how amazing it is and everything was just perfect. We loved staying here. The manager, Bobbie, was just so wonderful and we enjoyed talking with her, and her recommendations for places to visit were great. We felt at home here, and would very highly recommend staying here. We hope to return! 10 out of 10 all around!! "

"Great little spot right in the middle of it all. Not too close to the slopes but very convenient to the grocery store and restaurants. The friendliest staff; love Bowinkels!"
