    My husband and I recently enjoyed our fourth stay at the Inn at Ellis River and, as usual, we cannot wait for our next escape! Lynn, Frank & Christine are the perfect hosts and their attention to detail is exceptional. We lead, as most of us do, extremely busy lives and I can truly say that during our stays at Ellis River all of worries magically melt away upon entering their beautful Inn. The rooms are beautifully decorated and spotless - we especially love the fireplace suites.

    The three times we have stayed here have always been perfect. Every member of the the staff is warm and friendly. The location of the inn is perfect for any number off activities while still being set back away from the rush of the valley. Breakfast is amazing, best bacon anywhere! Rooms are warm and cozy and really clean! Looking fore-ward to going back soon!
