5 star experience and rooms for a very reasonable price. The beds and pillows were so comfortable... and i could swear the blanket was weighted.

I loved my stay here and plan to come again. I was looking for a nature stay near the mountains and I found it here. The owners are very conscientious and the rooms are clean and nice kept and upgraded. There's a fridge coffee maker and microwave in the room. Very dog friendly with a nice large fenced in yard. Twin Lakes is a beautiful 15 minute drive away. The owners have hot chocolate and snacks for $1. 5 stars for a homey stay.

The owners are wonderful people and keep their rooms and property very clean. I stayed in two different rooms during my work trip and was comfortable and able to rest.

What a gorgeous spot! Spotless, older hotel, with lots of elegant touches. Linens/pillows/toiletries/in room coffee including a grinder for freshest beans are just the start. Our hosts couldn’t have been more gracious. This visit, the weather made us stop. We will be back for a longer stay to enjoy the surroundings.

We weren't able to find a room one evening nearby and we called the Ruby Inn, not only did they have availability, but the front desk was incredibly helpful and sweet. They held some rooms for us and kept in mind some of the special needs I had mentioned on the phone. Excellent customer service and the check in process once we got here was very easy. Rooms are typical for a small hotel, our room was clean, had a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Overall great experience.

Our second stay here with our dog. Very friendly staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Very pet oriented with fenced yard for dogs to run. Great location. Small fridge and microwave in closet. Contrary to amenities listed, NO continental breakfast. We will definitely stay here again when in the area. Happy traveling! Highly recommended.

The weather turned quickly and our plans to camp on BLM failed. My husband and I back tracked to Bridgeport, fell in love. This town was quiet, I suspect for the time of year and weather conditions. Mary at the front desk was sweet, accommodating, and quick to get us to our room (we were visibly chilled). The room looks untouched since the 1980s! The heater works phenomenally and the room felt clean for a motel. My only qualms are the carpet smelling and the price of the room, yikes. ANYWAY, so appreciative of the room vacancy, inviting townspeople, and the SCENERY.
