"Great place to stay to stage for backpacking, Rooms are big and the is a microwave for late-arrival dinners, Dog rooms are fine, just dog rooms. Overall, we had a pleasant stay."
"I had wanted to stay here for a while and finally had the opportunity in mid October. Definitely a shoulder season for the area, I was the only one there for most of my stay. Even so, the facilities were clean and well maintained and the quietness provided exactly what I was looking for.
The huts are well situated overlooking an empty field with a view to help provide a sense of solitude. The cabins themselves are beautifully designed, yet spartan. They strike an interesting balance of...

Chewuch Inn and Cabins
10/10 Excellent
"A beautiful place to stay - wish we had stayed more than one night. A spacious cabin with simple, well chosen decor and a lot of amenities like a full-size fridge and a private hot tub. You could see the Milky Way overhead from just outside and a doe wandered past the cabin twice in the morning, just 20 feet away. Breakfast was good, a little fancier than chain hotels, and the people were nice. "
"There were problems. No tv, the fireplace did not work and they were not able to fix it. Took it apart but left it that way. Lock on door to balcony was hard to open because the screws were loose. The toilet had problems due to their design to save water but when it was fixed they caused and left a mess. Dirty grout in the shower. Towels like sand paper. Missing light in bathroom. It was not the best experience.
The site and the view and staff was wonderful. But more attention to details. "
"While the outside looks unassuming (entire town is cowboy rustic) our room was magnificent. (Raven Ridge; upstairs) Enormous room w super comfortable bed, living area, separate kitchen and a huge bath w walk in shower, soaking tub. We had a fireplace and a balcony w comfy chairs. Totally luxurious. Wonderful stay. "
"From check in to check out, this place was awesome! The room was spacious, the beds were comfortable. It has all the necessary amenities for a basic hotel stay. Small refrigerator, a microwave and a nice coffee maker with enough fresh organic coffee and condiments to last several days. It may be an older hotel, but the updates were made carefully with attention to detail. Well loved, but very clean. The river view is fantastic. A nice treed lawn leading to the clear river.
I was there for the festival and it was a short 15 - 20 minute walk, although walking back was a bit dark, so if that bothers you bring a flashlight or the shuttle might be nice enough to make an extra stop. Better lighting along the way would only distract from the beautiful night sky.
Now to mention the hospitality, the front staff (owner I believe) is an absolutely wonderful woman. I forgot a few items and overlooked a couple of things and she immediately helped with them. (I brought cereal and yogurt, but no bowl or spoon and I brought left overs, but no fork). Helping me laugh at myself for the oversight, even then, cutting open my cereal because of course it didn't tear open properly the next morning.
Highly recommend staying here, although because of how awesome it is, you may have to book well in advance. "
"I loved my room and the balcony overlooking the river. I loved the sound of the river while I slept and I felt safe enough to leave the door open with the screen door there. I loved seeing the bats flying over the river at night. I hope to stay again next July for the Blues Festival. "
