Mountain Home Inn

My stay at Mountain Home Inn was thoroughly disappointing, plagued by pervasive filth and shocking neglect. The room was unclean, with dust blanketing surfaces, cobwebs draped above the TV, a stained carpet, and someone else’s food festering in the microwave. The coffee machine was grimy, never rinsed. The property/furniture was outdated and falling apart: a broken glass lampshade, a loose back door doorknob, and a non-functional bathroom heater. The walls were scarred with gashes and scuff marks, adding to the rundown feel. The bathroom was appalling. The shower, a copper pipe rigged above a non-operable jacuzzi tub, would be inaccessible for many, with a disgusting, moldy shower curtain. The toilet had a yellow ring and a wobbly seat, while the sink drained painfully slowly. A dim bulb made the space feel like a cave, and a hole in the wall from a bathrobe hook—caused by a broken doorstop—went unfixed. The blow dryer, plugged into a faulty GFI outlet, was unusable in the bathroom, forcing use in the bedroom, which lacks a mirror. Rusted miniblinds on a window between the bedroom and bathroom, filthy ceiling and floor vents, and cracked silicone caulking on the tub’s tile and grout screamed neglect/unprofessional. Only one towel rack meant wet towels had nowhere to dry, and we had to request a room refresh after the second night, which should’ve been standard. Outside, the table and chairs were caked in dirt, completely unusable. This B&B’s failure to maintain basic cleanliness and functionality made our stay miserable. Major improvements/new ownership are essential before it’s remotely recommendable.

Was disappointed to find the restaurant changed to a grab and go style with sub par food. It was our favorite place to go for many, many years with friends for a proper post hike lunch. Perhaps bring back table service and a full menu on the weekends? Wasn't busy on a beautiful Sunday afternoon which it usually is. Maybe the change is why....

Quite disappointing and over priced. All the furniture was old. The bed was comfortable. The 2 employees I saw were very nice. The mountain road there was scary to drive on. Leaving was worse. Breakfast was good but minimal. There were coffee grinds in my coffee. No seconds. No other meals were served due to low occupancy.

This is a classic mountain inn property, but I cannot recommend it due to management that lacks understanding and empathy. During my stay, an overhead light was malfunctioning, and an employee tried to fix it (he could not, not his fault, as it turned out to be intermittent.) I am a reader so this is a very important issue to me. When checking out, I brought this to the attention of the GM, asking for compensation, and she said "I already gave you the discounted rate". And, she dismissed my concern by saying "it's just a light bulb". Wow! No way to treat a customer! I didn't really care about compensation, but her lack of empathy (and no apology) was stunning. So, stay here if you'd like to, but if you have any issues that need to be discussed with management I wish you better luck than I had...

Comfortable bed, real wood-burning fireplace, friendly staff, generous breakfast, super view. Do keep in mind that the building's over 100 years old, so the floors creak and you will hear things in other rooms (albeit faintly). The remodel was in the distant past so a number of items are worn out (door locks, switches, wall plates) and a good solid day or two with a competent handyman would make a world of difference. Good value for the price.

Really cool place, great view from our room watching the sun rise. Dinner was outstanding and the service as well. There were only a few other guests so it was quiet and cozy. This place is right up the road from Muir Woods so having beers on the deck right after our hike was wonderful!
