It is sincerely a very homey and beautiful place! The 20 minute drive up a road from the heart of town, that is 25mph, makes you start questioning if the GPS is taking you to the right place! But the signs are clearly marked to get there and the scenery is amazing! Ok, the Lodge. The Sunlight Lodge is under renovations at the moment, the owner lets us know that we had brand new everything in the room itself. From the temprapedic bed to the box spring the two side tables. There are no TVs in the bedrooms themselves (which we weren't made aware of) , he said there were four total TVs on the property but of course people hogged them all night (people, am I right?) In the rooms, there was a thermostat as well as a space heater, but there is no fan on the ceiling, in the bathroom above the toilet and, unfortunately, the windows could not be opened. So the room became stuffy and sometimes way too hot. There were friendly dogs and cats inside the lodge as well. True mountain dogs. Bar downstairs that's open until 10. We also brought our own booze and sat by this huge fireplace and drank. The food was good, the staff was friendly and there wasn't an overwhelming crowd of people, which, as you all know, can put a damper on a vacation or outing. We love Glenwood, we come here every year to stay at a new hotel or lodge each time but go to Iron Mountain every day that we are here. I recommend the Iron Mountain-it has 16 different hot spring pools to be a wonderfully relaxing, detoxing and unique experience. We prefer Iron Mountain over all the other options of the springs like the Vapor Caves. We give Glenwood a solid 4.5... Maybe even a 5!! We are absolutely smart and timely about what time of year we come up here. It makes all the difference in your wallet and your sanity! Sunlight Lodge, I would give them a 4 if their property was finished with renovations, but for now, I will leave them with a 3 out of 4. Worth the...
Read moreWe booked the entire inn through AirBnB. I even confirmed with the host that when I booked the place we would get it all. However when we arrived there around 8 to 9 PM there were people walking around, we were unsure who they were at first until we noticed that we didn't get the entire place and that 5 of the rooms were reserved for staff, which caused confusion as we were needing those rooms to host guests. The problems started once one of my guests was watching the one TV with cable and then the staff just came in and changed the channel while he was watching it. Another issue was that one guest was in a room and then someone just poked their head in, noticed it was occupied and walked away. However they proceeded to walk off out of the property since none of the outside doors locked and the staff didn't wear anything to distinguish themselves, we weren't sure if it was just a random person or the staff. Also this place is way more run down than shown in the pictures on BnB. The floors where broken in some spots, the deck was falling apart, there was one section I stepped on and I sank for a second thinking I was going to break it. There was scrap would lying around outside, along with only 3 to 4 chairs that looked ready to break around the fire pit. I was really hoping this place would be great for our wedding, but it quickly turned into a nightmare. Whatever has happened here in the last year or so is really unfortunate. We only stayed there for an hour or two before relocating up the road at...
Read moreThis was our first time to this location, and we were extremely disappointed. First, the Airbnb website upon booking stated that this was a bed and breakfast, when this was actually at an inn. The pictures on the website were obviously from the previous owner, and none and I do mean NONE of the furniture was still there as the property must have been sold. The pictures showed that there was a game room with a TV, but because that area was dark, it was hard to verify if any of those amenities were available or even still there. When entering the room, it was small, outdated, and lacking heat, and lacking a TV as well.. Wall outlets were scarce, and of the one in plain site was literally hanging off of the wall. They did provide a small rotating heater for the room for heat purposes, which means when using it, that the bathroom was cold during the night as well as in the morning. The shower had a water conservation method with a chain on it, so resetting the shower had to be done moreso by the first person showering because of how long it takes for the water to heat up and get warm for use. Overall, this property needs a serious remodel, and more updated pictures that show the true condition of the property, which would help when booking because all of the advertisement we researched for this location seems to be quite misleading and false in all of their outdated...
