The Getaway was the perfect getaway for us. The location was private yet convenient to downtown and…read morewe found ourselves enjoying the Greenway trail into town many times. The cabin had every amenity we could of asked for (OK...a hot tub on the deck would have been nice) and we felt so comfortable from the minute we got there. The living room fireplace was amazing and we had it on constantly. The living room was comfortable and large. The kitchen was a bit small for both of us to work in but it was more than adequate. Both bedrooms were lovely (the king sized bed was super comfortable) and there were plenty of bathrooms to pick from. The sheets and towels were plentiful and plush and it was nice to be able to do laundry. The driveway up to the house was something. Super steep and it made the returns from our walks a bit challenging. And we were glad that it didn't snow to have to tackle it in the ice. The internet was great for keeping up with work but it wasn't sufficient to be able to stream movies or television. But the choices on the satellite TV made up for it. We loved The Getaway and will definiteley be back!

Our September, 2019 experience: - The room smelled like mold/mildew - Cheap "decor" - No headboards - Uncomfortable mattresses - Hard pillows - Tiny TV - Old, worn carpeting - An old, nasty, stained overstuffed chair - Horrible lighting Again, I reiterate, don't waste your money. It was a classic "bait and switch" situation and we were the fools. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

My son and I (and two dogs) stayed here for one night during a road trip for hiking. From reading…read morethe old reviews it seems like the new owners have really been putting in hard work to bring this place back to life; they are still working on it but everything was clean and amenities have been upgraded from previous photos such as flat screen tv with plenty of satellite channels and a ceiling fan with a remote (which I had to take a picture of because I loved it and want to find one for myself). If you want fancy and new this isn't the place for you but if you are like me and enjoy the motels with midcentury history but modern upgrades, it's a great stay. They accommodated my dogs for a lower pet fee than anywhere else and the customer service couldn't have been any better. I'd definitely stay again.

In business 22 years, their level of hospitality cannot be matched. After being stranded on the ridge Thanksgiving weekend due to car trouble, Cindy and David attended to our every need. We truly felt cared for as though we were family! So much so that they are forever inscribed on my Christmas fudge list. It was that memorable. I urge you to support this family business!

Other hotels were booked and this place had one remaining vacancy. The room was small but felt cozy. The decor was complimentary to the mountain setting. The wooden floors were pretty. The bathroom was small but updated. It was quiet. The parking was convenient. The room came with a cute back porch and an area to walk around. The only downside was I felt it was a little overpriced for what you got. The low quality sheets on the bed were worn out. The piling made them feel like coarse sandpaper. It's a shame because the mattress was very comfortable.
