I've stayed at the Pepper Tree Inn several times in the last decade and was always pleased with my stay. However, I was super disappointed in my stay this past weekend. First of all, we couldn't check into our room until nearly 6 p.m., after being told the room would be ready by the promised check-in time of 4 p.m. I understand they are short-staffed, and I was promised a 50% refund on my room. Upon entering the room, it was stiflingly hot and I realized the Pepper Tree doesn't have any AC. I should have checked the website, but I guess I just assumed they would have this amenity. Basically, it was super hard to sleep because it was so stuffy and warm in the room. Overall, the property seemed tired and worn-out, and the pool filled with mulch is so depressing. Very sad - this hotel is not at all what I remember. I'm hoping it's just a Covid recovery situation and that it will improve over the coming months. I'd still come back and stay there in the winter, but unless they get AC, I wouldn't recommend it for a summer visit.

Visited the hotel between Sept 17-18. The location is wonderful, along with the provided amenities. Josh at the front desk helped us check in smoothly and provided excellent service during our stay. Josh went above and beyond what would normally be expected from your typical guest services and did a fantastic job accommodating our requests. Would recommend a trip out to the Granlibakken if you ever get a chance.

We really needed a getaway after a recent loss. We were looking forward to our lakefront view as shown in the extremely limited property photos. Our small queen suite was exactly that. Small, quirky and not really lakefront. We overlooked a parking lot and small marina and boat rental and were jot directly over the water as pictured online. The room had ridiculous angles and really felt like one room with a diagonal wall divide to make it a suite. The space to walk through to get into the bathroom was only 24” wide between the quirky wall (which I walked into in the dark) and dresser. We made it work for our four nights. The sofa was comfortable. The bed had a good mattress but too fluffy pillows and slightly rough bedding. I had to use my clothing as a pillow. The maid service did not check shower soaps and the refrigerator was too small and smelly. Lastly, the breakfast offered enough when it was stocked, which was not consistent. One of the staff was rude to me about the hot water actually being coffee and did not apologize when it was true. Other staff came by to take food that was behind the counter for themselves, and did not restock food for the guests, leaving empty trays. Afternoon beverages were good, but the smoke from the fireplace below rose up and made it difficult to stay in the area. Something about the cookies was not quite right and after one we avoided them.

The hotel was great and the location was excellent. It is a converted 60’s motel that has been nicely updated. The rooms aren’t fancy, but the bed and showers are good. We ended up staying an extra day and had to switch rooms, and they were the same good quality. Out room faced the lake and had a gorgeous view without even getting out of the comfy bed. Along with a nice ambiance, the location is excellent. Walking distance to marina and boat trips, grocery store and CVS across the street, as well as numerous great restaurants within walking distance. We only needed to drive to go up to Palisade (formerly Squaw), so a great place to avoid traffic stress. Area was relaxing and quiet while we were there (early June). We had s’mores at the fire pit and walked to the farmers market and brought back breakfast on the deck surveying the lake. Loved it and will return.
