“This country hotel struck me as a surprisingly solid choice near Elliot, especially given its focus on outdoor activities for families. The star gazing is bound to be memorable, as are the options for horseback riding, and I appreciated the thoughtful touch of electric blankets against the cold mountain nights. It's not modern, but the hospitality and hearty food create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.”
