"Seeing the elk right up the road was awesome too! We were sad we didn't get to use it, but the pool and fire pit looked so nice - and the live music there was a nice touch."

The Blue Door Inn offers a pleasant stay, with nice amenities and plenty of activities to keep guests entertained. I found the rooms to be well-furnished and spacious, though my only minor issue was a bit of a wait for laundry facilities. Overall, the location is great for exploring the nearby nature and the dining experience provided a satisfying start to the day, although there could be a bit more variety. It's definitely good value for the money, especially with the fun extras available.
