There is so much to say Bernerhoff...This is one of my husband and I's favorite places to any stay anywhere. We have stayed here four times and are going again in April. We have also bought gift certificates for our friends and family, because we know they will love it as well. The inn is exceptionally clean, and they are constantly on the lookout for ways to make things even better. There is usually some casual jazz music playing in the common areas, and in the rooms upon your arrival. They have hand picked the music you are hearing because they have their own radio station! This isn't some old stuffy bed and breakfast, they have apple desktop computers for use on every floor, iPads available, flat screen tv's in all of the rooms, and even an electric car charging station. Every afternoon there are delicious homemade snacks put out, and there is always coffee and tea available. There isn't a bad room in the place, we have stayed in a few different rooms, and have also roamed around to take a peak in at what the other open rooms look like.
The inn has its own bar, which is nice because you can enjoy a cocktail within the comforts of the inn, without going to a crowded bar, or having to worry about driving. On the weekends the most people you will find at the bar are the number of guests that are staying there; it is not open to the public. That being said, theres always a good diverse group of people hanging out at the bar, or playing a game of Cards Against Humanity. Oh! There's also a nice fire pit outside with adirondack chairs to relax in. The only thing we have yet to try is the Serenity Spa, but we did ask another couple how their massage was and they said they highly recommended it.
Steve, Katey, and their staff make you feel at home in so many ways. The first time we stayed at the inn Steve gave us a tour and showed us where everything was, we quickly felt very comfortable. Steve has worked in the hospitality industry for many years. His experience, skill, and love of his work is very obvious from the moment you meet him. Steve is able to strike up conversations, tells jokes, and laugh with every guest that walks through the door. He finds a way to connect with everyone.
An inn can only be as good as their staff right? My husband and I have taken one group cooking class and one private cooking class at the Taste of the Mountains cooking school, and both classes were so much fun. For the group class we made a fondue meal, and for the private class we made Brazilian barbecue. One of my favorite parts about the private cooking class was talking to Chef Cheryl ahead of time and planning out what to cook. I am not a cook by any means, so I just gave her some ideas I had and she made suggestions based on that information. It was very fun! If you are looking something different and fun, try a cooking class, Steve makes themed drinks, Chef Cheryl tells great old stories about the inn, you laugh, and eat wonderful food. What could be better?
The last time we stayed at the inn we had our infant daughter with us (don't worry we went in the middle of the week so we wouldn't bother anyone in case she cried), and I mentioned to Duffy, who is in charge of house keeping, that our daughter was quickly going through all of the clean bibs we brought. She quickly offered to throw a load of laundry on for us with whatever we needed cleaned. I couldn't believe it. She even washed one of my shirts that my daughter had gotten a little bit of spit up on! I really appreciated it so much, thanks Duffy.
Well, I could go on and on, but this review is already long enough. The short of it is: we would highly recommend this inn to anyone. We love it up there, and we know you will too! read more
