Sierra Mountain Inn

8/10 Good
"The cabin and property were great. Donna, who checked us in, was super friendly and helpful. The cabin was rustic but charming, clean and comfortable. The fireplace stove worked perfectly and kept the cabin comfy and warm. The shower was hot and therapeutic after a day of hiking in Glacier. We enjoyed the breakfast basket as well. The overall ambiance was just great except for one detail. Train noise. Loud train noise and whistles frequently throughout the night made it almost impossible to sleep. I’m amazed that none of the other reviewers made mention of it. Maybe we’re just light sleepers though the noise was really very intrusive. Just something to be aware of. Not sure if I would stay there again. Otherwise, it was great!"

"Property is well kept with a microwave and refrigerator in each room and thoughtfully laid out, with a desk and comfortable chair for working. There is an on-site swimming pool and spa. The staff was mostly friendly and very helpful. The on-site restaurant is just a few tables and chairs, but the food was pretty good, and children eat breakfast for free and dinner is free for them, too, as long as they order off of the specific kid's menu and adults put in an order, as well."

"This is an odd comment perhaps, but the vending machines did not accept credit cards and I rarely carry cash. Also , the grounds around the building are rather uneven which made walking to the lobby at night a bit chancy since my husband walks with a cane. But the room was nice and the staff were very helpful. Great shower too (good water pressure)"
