Top Fern Lake Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Inn on Fall River & Fall River Cabins

8/10 Good

"Terrible WiFi. We were not able to watch tv or use Internet on our phones even after connecting"

River Ridge Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage was so cozy and the view from the river was amazing! The check-in process was easy and the communication was prompt. One piece of information I would have found helpful was how to lock the door when leaving the property. The only thing I would say as a negative was how hot the cottage was without central cooling. The fan provided is definitely needed. I would stay here again!"

Riversong Inn Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"One of my favorite boutique hotels I’ve ever stayed at, the building, the grounds, the river, everything was perfect. I’ll have to come back for the tea serving."
