We liked the Mariposa Lodge. The staff (the only non-guests you will ever see) were super friendly, and great in the kitchen. The rooms were done up nicely, and the location is convenient.

BUT...

...we were completely dissed by the owner! She drove right past us in the driveway as we smiled and waved from five feet away. She just ignored us, flat out. That was the only time we ever saw her during our stay, and boy, what a first impression!

Excellent Bed & Breakfast no issues, everything was GREAT!

On a recent biking trip, our group had the pleasure of staying at the Mariposa B&B. The beautiful common areas, especially the sunroom and kitchen, made our stay relaxing and memorable. My friends and I spent the afternoon reading in the sunroom overlooking the river, then spent the evening on the porch looking for deer and other wildlife in the field across the street. The breakfast was outstanding (thanks Dani) and we couldn't have chosen a better place to relax after a long day on the biking trail. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

My husband and I recently stayed at the Mariposa Lodge for a long weekend of R&R. Our room was decorated in the bears-and-Indians motif common in the West. it was spacious and clean, and we opened two windows to let in the fresh mountain air. Breakfasts were hot, homemade and quite filling--egg dishes with sausage or bacon and fresh fruit. Hosts Bob and Cindy were very friendly, providing directions to the local botanic garden, better restaurants, and popular Strawberry Hot Springs. The lodge is on the edge of town so it was away from busy ski resort lodging and quiet but still convenient to downtown. It is adjacent to Soda Creek, but we couldn't see the creek due to vegetation. The end of August was a perfect time for a break--kids are back in school and Steamboat still hums with art galleries, river rafting, sightseeing, hiking, and more. It's a very enjoyable place in the summer when ski crowds haven't arrived.
