Beautiful inn with a great staff. The inn brought you back in time. We just loved it. I only wished there were a few more plugs in the room to plug in the technology. Great views, peaceful and relaxing, amazing breakfast, loved the common areas. Location is good.

The property is aging and shows it but the staff was exceptional. They've done what they can to keep up the property and it was certainly clean but just old.

I’ve driven by with my family hundreds of times and always wondered what it was like inside and got the opportunity to see during a short ski trip. The hotel is a 140 year old gem that has an extremely friendly staff. I’ll be back again for sure.

Stafford Bayview Inn was very historical, & classy. The property goes back to 1886, which was cool. But on the other hand some technoligy could help. The elevator although very unique, & historical.was hard to use because of size & harsh moving parts!
