The Blue Boar Inn is a lovely, European-style inn situated ideally for enjoying the glorious Wasatch Mountains or as a staging point for jaunts into Park City. Midway itself is a small, quaint town next to the Wasatch State Park. There's not much in Midway, but the town has made the most of what they have to offer, including maintaining a Alpine theme to most of the residences and buildings in town. There are a few restaurants, shops, and a rather good grocery store, but the biggest draw for Midway is probably the state park and golf course. Park City, with its world-class skiing, dining, and shops, is just 15 minutes away.

Blue Boar is tucked away on the end of a residential street, directly across from the state park. The inn has two stories, beautiful carved wood, many porches and private balconies, and several nice public areas, including a video library, game table, downstairs seating, and a small pub -- plus an excellent restaurant.

Our room (William Shakespeare) was one of the few that has a king sized bed. The room itself was large, with one of the biggest and deepest (jetted) bathtubs we've ever enjoyed. There was a lovely gas fireplace that threw off nice warmth and a large flat-screen tv. The inn was relatively empty during our visit, so it was nice and quiet during our stay.

We had great service, slept well, enjoyed the ambiance, and had a couple of great meals during our stay. To fully appreciate the restaurant (for dinner), it helps to really enjoy European cuisine, as well as to have a sense of adventure. It's the type of place where you can have pork belly, duck, and sweetbreads. If you are not into that sort of thing, you may be better off dining elsewhere. We loved it.

Overall, we had an outstanding experience.

Although I traveled here alone, this is the perfect romantic retreat. Jay the Innkeeper personally makes his guests welcome and you feel like you are in the Bavarian Alps, not Midway !
Antiques surround you, everyone of which seems to have it's own story attached. The bar is fun, but quiet - but Sunday Brunch is the treat. Michael the waiter will greet you warmly and serve several appetizers and pastries before your choice of entree, anything from Eggs Benedict to Steak to Salmon and more ! All topped off with a European Scone for dessert ! As a resident this is all included, but for non residents it is the best value in town.
The rooms are all themed and I got the tour of them all before leaving. Although a little kitsch, they are all fun and very well accommodated and every inch of space is used. One reviewer reports of noise, I found it to be totally peaceful, if anything a little too quiet at times !!!
In Summer you can dine on the balconies, surrounded by beautiful window boxes, stuffed with colorful flowers. All this and views of the State Park make this place a little piece of heaven and one of Utah's best kept secrets.

The Blue Boar Inn came highly recommended, so we stayed for 3 nights during Labor Day weekend trip to the area. Overall the inn is very nice, but our experience was a mixed bag. This had everything to do with the staff, some new, and let's chalk it up to a lack of training or experience.

We stayed in the Elizabeth Barret/Robert Browning suite, a grander suite priced at about $300/night (including breakfast). There are many nice touches that make the inn special, but they were inconsistent. We missed the turndown service one night (which is SO nice, you know when you've missed it) and without housekeeping it's just not the same. We did request it, and that lead to being locked out of our room for about 30 minutes after a long day just to have the comforter turned down.

We found it hard to sleep any night when we were there. The room is located just off the deck and above the trash galley. Conversations from dinner mixed with conversation from staff taking a break below seeped in until after 10:30PM. Then some trash bin noise. This would resume about 6 AM when the recycling is picked up. Did you know that each box needs to be broken down at that hour? Don't worry, this will be followed up by the trash collection at 7 AM. This room, however nice, was clearly for newbies.

The room is finely appointed with a grand king sized four poster bed. This fills the room and someone of larger carriage may have a hard time navigating between bedpost and wall. The gas fireplace is a great addition for cool nights. A large picture window overlooks the visitor's center of the state park across the road. There is a deck outside your door. It should be noted that this is not private and we did not use it. It is part of an overall veranda on the second story. It is separated by a hip-high rail that may be opened by other guests as in our case. Other guests were present on our check-in and opening the door was like chasing off pigeons. The rear wall of this is deck is all glass and looks down into the dining room, another reason we avoided it. The bathroom is large with a whirlpool tub and shower.

Breakfast was great on most days, but the Sunday brunch was disappointing. We didn't see anything of interest. We asked for a simple breakfast of eggs and toast and were told that the chef "doesn't like doing that" and that it wasn't an option. Clearly a training / experience issue. Hearing that after settling a $1000+ bill doesn't sit well.

Without a doubt my wife and I will be heading back to this quaint B&B. The food was among the best we've ever eaten; the service and beyond the mark care for our needs was a wonderful surprise. The Sunday brunch is UNBELIEVABLE. The proximity to Park City is perfect (15 min away) yet you are far enough away that you can have a quite walk in state parks to hear birds, see Deer and not a sound of traffic. Although the food isn't cheep, the quality of what you eat will surprise even the finest of dinners. Don't pass this place up if you are in the vicinity or looking for a great get-a-way. Remember, it's only 15 min from Park City or 20 from Sundance. WHAT A JEM.
