We thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay at 949. It is clean, well furnished, updated, and has a variety of bed/bath choices. I understand it is a renovation of an 1897 miners cabin...how cool is that? Inside, you can clearly see remnants/archaeology of the old cabin. It is perfectly located, walkable to the Old Town center and trails/City Lift, near a bus line and urban bike/walk trails, and a short drive to groceries, outfitters and other dining/trail opportunities. Seriously, if we had applied ourselves a "little" bit more (or if we brought our own bikes), then we may have never moved our vehicle. We ate breakfast on the front porch to start the day. We soaked in the hot tub after a long day of mountain biking. We hung out on the porch again for sunset. The kitchen was well appointed and worked for the times we ate in. The primary/master suite was comfortable, clean and is connected to the back porch.
Basically, you're in the middle of Old Town, but away from the busiest streets.
Lucky Ones Coffee is a 5-minute walk (connected to the library) - they have an inspiring mission to employ autistic/challenged kids. Great coffee and crazy affordable. We rented bikes from JANS and a mountain bike tour with White Pine. We should have ridden our bikes to Five5eeds for breakfast instead of driving...we ate breakfast there three times. I put my mountain bike on the town bus and rode up to Montage for a 2-hour mountain bike ride back to 949's hot tub...luxurious. This is the perfect place to use as a ride base camp.
We can't wait to come back.
