The Gnarly Inn

The stay at Sunlight Mountain Inn was incredible. I couldn't get enough of the views of the ski hill and the surrounding mountains, the beautiful hiking trails and the gorgeous little creek that runs through the back yard. Having a public kitchen where you can store your food and a stove where you can make your own meals was very nice. They also have a nice bar area where residents can use. Final positive note: The staff are INCREDIBLY friendly and nice, if you have any questions they are more than willing to help. Only warning I give is that some areas of the deck were in poor repair and the rooms were small and rustic in nature, so if you are looking for a fancy hotel, this may NOT be the place for you.

Price is worth it. You get what you pay for. We had a great time here and the hotel public areas and property are massive. BYOBooze and food and you’ll have a good time. The views are crazy good right now and location is convenient. If you can read directions the showers work fine. Beds were comfy and host was great. Plus dog friendly and property next to a soothing river. It’s not a 5-star hotel but a vintage classic that brings back childhood skiing vibes.

I cannot understate how shocking this “inn” is. No smoke alarms, out of date fire extinguishers, no staff, rooms in lounge and “game room” are dark. There is a community kitchen which is a commercial kitchen that I would be scared to eat out of. Furniture is in disrepair. Road was not plowed and the kitchen area is a mess. I cannot believe this place is operating. It is something out of a horror movie. I am leaving as soon as possible. Do yourself a favor and stay at a hotel in Glenwood Springs. The other reviews with high stars are from years ago and the photos are not accurate to 2024.

We left immediately because of the deplorable conditions. It's been 2 days and still no one has replied to our email refund request. No manager is available by phone. -We arrived and no staff was there. The building was dark and seemed almost abandoned. The key was left on the desk and was to the wrong room, but the correct room was unlocked. -The tile in the bathroom was crumbled and broken -Dirt came out of the bath pipe. -The toilet was continuously running off and on and making noise -The light in the bathroom had a loose connection and was blinking off and on. -The room felt unheated and the space heater couldn't provide adequate heat in Colorado winter. The man at the number on the envelope said it would take him an hour to arrive, and he had no authority to do refunds. I file

Always so accommodating. Friendly owner that really wants you to enjoy your stay. If you are looking for being pampered this isn't the lodge. It's older and Jason is constantly tackling the renovations he can. No TVs in the room, older beds, outdated bathrooms but great common areas. This is a place to get away from it all. I saw the rooms at Hotel Colorado and they aren't much different except TV's. Who needs a TV when in Glenwood? The breakfast is okay, but honestly the wonderful homey feeling is worth it all. There's a nice patio, wonderful fireplace, you can see people skiing, go on a snowmobile tour, talk to the owner who is a wonderful down to earth guy with a lot of knowledge of Glenwood. Yes, like other reviews mention, it needs updating, it's not modern, there's dogs and
