Although this place is in a wonderful location and at first glance, it is absolutely very nice and inside there is a strong odor. Not sure if it is mold

Clean room Door had to be lifted to get it to latch firmly. A curved shower rod be nice for bigger people, gives more room without getting into shower curtain. Took trash out, but dumpster was full and bags of trash were falling out when opened the door. That said, I will be back

The room was very comfortable and clean. Although we certainly had plenty of room, it is not as large as advertised and there is no spa tub as advertised. The room is listed to be over 3,000 square feet and it's nowhere close to that size. But again, the room was very nice and clean. There was plenty of cabinet space and chest of drawers for clothes, etc..

Adorable and Great Location!

I am a solo female traveler who stayed at the Trail Blazer Inn for 4-nights. The room was clean, everything was brand new, the bed was very comfy, fluffy towels and I appreciated all the plump pillows! It is exactly as it looks in the pictures, and the mural behind the bed was hand-painted by an artist... you can look up her insta and see posts of her working on the project - it made the room feel extra personalized and special. There is plenty of storage in the dresser, the mini-closet and under the sink. I had a question for the host upon check-in and they were quick to respond. It is located just off the main road, so it is easy to find, but far enough back that its not noisy with cars. Its peaceful at night and I fell asleep to the sound of frogs and crickets. I would certainly stay here again. Thanks for the wonderful and seamless stay! :)
