    It’s cute and good great view of the slopes from the balconies. Bob sledding is easily walkable, also for kids. Bathrooms are very outdated, small. If you’re a tall person, be prepared to crouch down if you want water on your head.

    The proximity to the mountain was perfect! The 2 restaurants within the building made it easy for meals without having to go outside. And the food was really good ! The place in general was dated but comfortable and clean.

    Love the staff and the location. You can’t beat the friendly and welcoming feeling you get from Steve and the location is fantastic. Waking up to the slopes is my favorite part. Definitely someone smoking pot on the third floor and it was both nights. It drifting down the hallway and when we turned on our bathroom vent the smell came in.

    We love this Inn! This was our second year coming here and we will be back. The Inn is quiet, comfortable, and clean. The view of the slopes is great and it’s a really close drive to ski. We always see deer by the parking lot but this time we had some walk up to our balcony. It’s very convenient having the restaurant there with a variety of good food. The manager is very nice and always makes us feel like family while we are there. We like it all!

    We loved this quaint lodge. The service was exceptional. It was very clean. Great food. The views are amazing of the slopes. The marketplace was perfect without leaving the lodge.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Top of the Beech Inn is perfectly located, just steps from the ski slopes. The balcony view is beautiful, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The two on-site restaurants are really good, and while the lodge is not new, it is very clean and cozy, which makes the stay comfortable and enjoyable. Great location, great vibe, a truly mountain experience. We’d definitely stay here again.

    Staff was great & stay Wi fi was bad

  • Engine customer Jul 2024

    The carpet throughout, which they are in the process of making updates. Better lightening throughout the halls would also be very helpful and small tables on the balcony
