Summary of reviews

Located at the base of Rib Mountain, Rib Mountain Inn provides a picturesque and serene retreat, ideal for ski enthusiasts due to its proximity to Granite Peak Ski Park. Guests appreciate the inn’s convenient access to the ski slopes, just a minute walk through scenic woods, and its quiet residential setting that's still near highways for regional exploration. The nostalgic vibe reminiscent of 1980s family-run lodges adds charm, complementing its clean and comfortable accommodations, which include restful, dark rooms with wooded views, and wood flooring.

The breakfast experience at the inn is notably impressive, with guests praising the wide variety of hot and cold options, including cereals, toasts, waffles, and fresh fruits. The continuous availability of coffee, tea, and cappuccino further enhances the experience, despite minor feedback about starting times. The breakfast quality exceeds typical motel expectations and contributes to a great start to each day.

Guests consistently commend the inn’s spacious rooms, which are clean and cozy with Northwoods-themed décor, featuring comfortable beds and convenient amenities like fridges and microwaves. Full kitchens, fireplaces, and balconies add luxury, while the outdoor hot tub offers relaxation after a day on the slopes. Although some bathrooms might appear dated, many have been updated nicely, and overall cleanliness throughout the property is commendable.

Rib Mountain Inn also stands out for its friendly and attentive staff. Guests frequently highlight the exceptional service, particularly praising Barbara, the property manager. While isolated incidents of rush or rudeness occur, these are exceptions amid a generally welcoming and professional atmosphere.

For ski enthusiasts, the inn's proximity to the ski lifts is a major draw, along with its charming rustic aesthetic and cozy setting featuring fewer than 20 rooms. The outdoor hot tub and stunning views enhance the overall experience. Beds are prominently praised for their comfort and quality, ensuring guests enjoy restful sleep.

Despite its older structure, Rib Mountain Inn is well-kept and offers a charming, three-star experience in a serene, wooded setting with proximity to Rib Mountain State Park. The inn provides a tranquil retreat, marrying advantageous location with preserved facilities, making it a perfect choice for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking relaxation and scenic beauty.
