    A Lovely weekend at Mountain Goat Lodge

    March 06, 2012

    We had a fantastic weekend at Mountain Goat Lodge. We spend time walking the fields, playing with and feeding baby goats, and dining at Fritz in Salida (yum!) My boyfriend and I took the cheesemaking class and Mountain Goat and it was fantastic!!! I highly recommend it. Our fridge is loaded with homemade cheeses and even yogurt now. The gourmet breakfasts were delicious, and the hosts were generous, friendly and fun. I highly recommend Mountain Goat Lodge. If you get

    Great Salida B&B

    March 03, 2012

    We had a wonderful time at the Mountain Goat Lodge. First and foremost, we stayed for two nights and the breakfast served each day was absolutely outstanding! Gina does a wonderful job making sure you leave for the day well fed. The only complaint we had (which is minor) is that it is hard to sleep past 7am...a lot of noise starts happening downstairs and the walls are pretty thin. We would definitely stay here again...it was just lovely and worth every penny.

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you for being honest with the feedback - you had the mixed experience of being here when we were completely full - great for conversations and making new acquaintances, but not so great for sleeping in. Those that come here during the week make the comment of how quiet it is! We are planning some upgrades to insulated doors and drapes in hopes that we can dampen down some of the sound. Glad you had a good weekend though!

    A perfect getaway

    February 26, 2012

    We highly recommend this place for a weekend (or longer) getaway. The surroundings are gorgeous, the rooms are very nice and the owners are very welcoming. The cheese making class was a lot of fun as well. And of course the goats are an added highlight. We were sad to leave.

    Mountain Goat Lodge - Salida CO

    February 21, 2012

    My wife and I decided to try this B&B since we were going back to my hometown for a visit ,and we were blown away by the service given to us by Gina and her staff. I work for a National FF&E Hospitality company and could have stayed in one of the many hotels in Salida but decided to try something a little different; WOW were we suprised on how beautiful and clean the property was with the views I grew up with right outside our balcony. I would recommend the Mountain Goat Lodge to anyone staying in the Salida area a hundred times over and yes i already have. Thanks Gina!!!!
