Heather truly went above and beyond to make our stay special, doing so many thoughtful things that she didn't have to. She was incredibly kind and even built us a cozy fire so we could enjoy making s'mores in the evening. The lodge is extremely dog-friendly, which was perfect for us. They even have a secure, gated potty area where dogs can safely be off leash. Our husky had the best time playing with Bear, who is one of the sweetest dogs we've ever met. Bear got along wonderfully with our dog and was friendly with every person and dog we saw. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a welcoming, relaxing, and dog-friendly place to stay in Arnold, Meadowmont Lodge is the perfect choice. We'll definitely be back!

This was our second stay at Arnold Meadowmont Lodge…read more Which is saying something, because it's five and a half hours from our house. We don't even drive five and a half hours to visit some relatives. We found it by accident a few years ago on an anniversary trip and liked it so much that we came all the way back just to stay here again. I love this place because it still has that classic 1960s roadside motor lodge feel. Not the "I hope the plumbing works" kind. More like, "This is what a motor lodge would look like if somebody loved it for the last 60 years." Everything is immaculate. The rooms are spotless, the landscaping looks like every blade of grass had a performance review, and they've got a fire pit and cornhole out back. Which is a game I've played for years and still can't believe that's the name everyone agreed on. The people here are just... nice. And not "hotel nice." Actually nice. We know because, on the way up, we hit a deer. That's not part of the amenities, by the way. Suddenly we're wondering if our car is going to be in the shop for days, and the staff immediately started helping us figure out how to extend our stay if we got stranded. They didn't have to do any of that. They just genuinely wanted to help take one more thing off our plate during a pretty stressful day. Thankfully, we made it home, but that little gesture is the kind of thing you remember. There are plenty of hotels where you sleep. This is one where you feel welcome. My wife and I can't wait to come back. Hopefully next time we'll leave the local wildlife out of the itinerary.

The proprietors here do a beautiful job of making the property and surrounding gardens pristine…read more They are delightful and delighting. They serve a home-made pastry each morning that is different and had us swooning. My favorite was the Raspberry Crumble muffin that smelled like pure butter being held together with batter. My husband loved the praline filled bundt coffee cake. The owner has a real gift of an excellent palate and sense of texture. Each baked good was very moist in the middle, yet slightly crunchy on the outside. It's worth staying here just for her baking. On top of that, the included breakfasts are beautiful, and she's made the best hollandaise sauce we've ever had. We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite and didn't hear a peep from other guests, which is a real fete in some of these historic homes. The location is perfect, easily walkable to restaurants and shops. This place is a gem and I can't wait for our next visit.

We stayed for two nights at the Bear Valley Lodge and we would much rather stay at Tamarack. Parking can be tricky but they do clear the parking lot in the winter. Make sure to contact them ahead of time to make sure you have all information since there is no cell service in the area. Most rooms have a kitchen and TV which is nice to make your own meals and relax after a day on the mountain. It is our go to spot at Bear Valley.
