The room is rather outdated but the clean place, the comfortable bedding, clear check in and check out instructions and the good communication with the staff makes up for it!

I visited in winter, couldn't see the ground nor used anything but the room. Was excellent for what we needed. Never interacted with staff in person. Went smoothly though.

Had an amazing stay ! This is my first time staying here after driving by many times. Rooms were SPOTLESS and the wifi was super fast. I was told that they swapped over from a local provider to starlink so the satellite wifi was working amazing. Also a super easy checkin process ! Will be back next weekend

No WiFi and multiple annoying noise issues.
WiFi too weak to connect computer. Host was unable to improve the situation during our three night stay. Beds made a lot of noise with movements. Nice medium size frig was positioned in the room as the bed stand and was too noisy to be so close to our heads (had to turn off frog). Disturbing noise came from adjoining storage room (failing up-lift water pump). Stayed at Rostay in the past with no recollection of any issues. I plan to stay elsewhere going forward.

This is not a 5 star property, but it is super clean, easy to deal with and affordable. If you're looking for luxury, go pay way too much up the road. We'll be hanging here, having a drink in the hot tub, and getting ready to shred. Rostay is amazing!

Hey Frank,Thanks for your 3 star review for your stay during a statewide emergency and flooding like we’ve never seen before since 1960s. Next time we will try harder to meet your needs instead of housing people that lost their entire lives due to the flooding. Hopefully you can learn to do better in life

One night stay on fall foliage drive. This hotel was very quaint, Only spoke with staff at check in but they where friendly and help us find restaurants in the area (FYI not many dinning options to choose from) The room was clean and fresh. The most important feature of a hotel for me is the bed and although the mattress was not deluxe I slept well.

Check-in was quick and the family that own it were friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and had a nice rustic cabin feel. We only stayed one night so it was perfect for our needs. The only disappointment was that they weren’t serving breakfast, which we were looking forward to. The area was very nice. We would recommend this inn if you’re in the area.
