We had a lovely weekend at the Wayside Inn! Our room was clean and the location was perfect for a quick weekend to ski Cannon, and visit Reklis, and Schilling Beer Co. It was nice to have breakfast included and we took full advantage of the cozy fireplace and TV to watch some Olympics with fellow guests.

The rooms are cozy, clean and spacious. The breakfast is a great plus! But the cherry on top is the staff. The owner and staff are amazing, super friendly and helpful. We’ll stay here next time for sure. The location is the best for skiing or a trip in the summer to the mountains.

We stayed here for a night and loved the cozy nostalgic atmosphere. Quaint and clean room with friendly staff. Had to leave early so didn’t get to have breakfast, but the warm rolls with cinnamon butter and apple butternut soup I had for dinner were amazing. Lovely river view from out room. Highly recommend!
