What Our Guests Are Saying

5/5

"We had the privilege of celebrating our marriage this past weekend here at Cliffview. From the very beginning both my husband and I had the best feeling of this beautiful place. The lodge can be rented as a whole or you can stay in your favorite suite so long as the lodge isn't completely rented out. Luckily, we found Cliffview far out enough that we were able to reserve the entire lodge for a 3-day weekend! The lodge with a max capacity of 64 guests (16 bedrooms, 2 queen beds per suite with bathroom), ceremony deck on site overlooking the mountains, and reception space in one vicinity. On our wedding day, we had so many beautiful options for photos even with rain on/off all day long. The innkeepers, Allen and Janice, were OUTSTANDING!!!! They worked so hard to make everything a dream on the lodge site. Every morning, Janice prepared a wonderful continental breakfast and she put genuine thought into the foods she would purchase and prepare for the buffet. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Cliffview to EVERYONE!"
