Inn on Fall River & Fall River Cabins

Inn on Fall River & Fall River Cabins

10/10 Excellent
"We loved having deck overlooking the river. The sound was great for sleeping. Full size coffee pot and toaster was great. We also enjoyed the bar with live music in the evening. Hot tub and infinity pool very nice. Our unit had stairs to climb to get into. This is not unusual for the area. However if stairs are an issue, suggest you check with hotel and get advice about which units are best."

10/10 Excellent
"This was a last-minute stay. Decided to chase the fall colors. No true direction, just drive. Ended up in Steamboat. We knew we were staying only one night, so something inexpensive and with availability....AND that was exactly what we found, and more. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The location was unbelievable and awesome with a slope-side view. So Cool. The only thing that was a bummer was that we couldn't visit the White Rabbit Tavern because of an event, but aside from that, we were very happy that our spontaneous leaf-chasing trip led us to Gravity Haus."
