We stayed 4 nights in Redstone the first part of August and fell in love with it. The Redstone Cliffs Lodge is our first choice because of the interior decor and the "back yard" along the river where one can sit and enjoy or bar-be-que or soak in the hot tub. Westayed with our 3 dogs in Ste. 2 and the price was just a little less than The Redstone Inn were we also stayed in a huge ground floor room that opened to the side parking lot. Dave, the proprietor of Redstone Cliffs is gracious.
Of course The Inn is 100 years old, the bathroom has not been updated in probably 40 years, but OK.
There is a wetbar and wine glasses, but no coffeepot or cups.
They expect guests to dine in the Inn's beautiful dining room or in the grill. The food was outstanding here and the charm abundant.
The Inn has an olympic swimming pool and health club.
We enjoyed the food and friendly staff at The Crystal Club Cafe where we dined in the grassy yard at a table with umbrella where our dogs were also welcome.
The Redstone Art Center is a serious showcase for one of a kind art, and there is a marble sculpture garden outside along he river as well.
Another fun place for dinner is Woody's Cook Shack in Marble. Smoked meats includuing salmon and chicken. No liquor license so take your own wine. Go early to get a seat: small and popular.
Dogs ok outside on the wooden porch.
Be sure to take the tour of "The Castle," the home of robber baron Charles Osgood . Sue, the tour guide, dressed in period costume is a delightful fountain of knowledge, and kept us spell bound for the hour and a half tour. Not to be missed history of the coal mine and the town and the times!
