Loved by The Trailhead Motel guests
"Being a dog friendly hotel was huge and even though our dogs didn't bark, she reassured me that if they did while we wheeler out that it wasn't a big deal because it's a dog hotel."
"Room was 'affordable' for the one night we were in town."
"This hotel was exactly what me and my ladies needed with the cabin vibe for an affordable price during this crazy summer season."
