Pros - charming, beautiful, cozy, kind of historic, very "Austrian", delicious food, beautiful view. Many things to do on the property - fitness, yoga, pools, snowshoeing, cross country ski,(obviously we were here in winter ) , complimentary tea and cookies in the afternoon. Lots of Trapp family and Sound of Music memorabilia throughout the lodge.
Cons - If you're a Sound of Music fan, you'll be very disappointed to find out that the "Trapp Family Lodge" is not full of Trapp family working...

We loved our stay here! We were at Brass Lantern for just a couple days but definitely want to come back again.
I think the best parts are the amazing breakfasts and the inn keepers. They make delicious food and also are so hospitable. The coffee is also superb - I’m a bit of a coffee snob and their coffee was excellent.
The bed was also very comfortable and I loved the afternoon/evening snacks. The homemade blueberry pie was outstanding!
I hope we can come back again soon to visit. We love...

Staying there was like traveling on time and we were avle to learn about the history of the original house and famous bridge in front. The room was extremely clean, comfortable and cozy. The staff very responsive and kind. Breakfast served was delicious and fresh.

We really enjoyed this property. The grounds were beautiful and having the trail system was a definite perk. The location was perfect for getting on the recreational trail and walking or riding bikes to dinner. The service was great and very friendly. The room was comfortable and efficient. The only very minor points is that the chairs on the balcony were far too short to actually see anything if you used them. The chairs were about a foot off the ground but the balcony had a 4-foot solid wall...

Water pressure for days in one of the suites! The rest of the suite was great, no issues except for the hot tub being out of order. I was happy to actually be able to wash my long thick hair, which I usually cannot do at hotels.

Hotel was great, grounds were lovely, pool area has a great vibe and is a fun space to relax. Bar has good drink options. Good place to bring your family for a get away. Housekeeping could be a little more thorough, had to call to get trashes emptied. Other than that everything was great, will be going back.

We stayed in the Mountainview condos and we were really happy. it was modern, clean, and a nice stay for the weekend. There were 2 couples and with the 1 br it worked out really well. Even though there was 1 br, the living room area with the sofabed could be closed off and basically created another br. The kitchen was really useful with the fridge, dishwasher, and coffeemaker. We weren't planning on cooking but if someone wanted you could have because the kitchen was fully stocked with cooking...
