Guest Reviews

Perfect place for my daughter’s wedding! Amie and her staff were amazing. Always two steps ahead of any request we might have. The rooms are each unique and comfortable. The property is beautiful! Given it was a wedding we had the property for the entire weekend. It was so nice to be surrounded by family and friends all weekend. Everything from the food, decor, staff, views and of course...See More

We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our 50th wedding anniversary! Great place to rest, relax and unwind. The Inn is beautiful! Between the service, the rooms, the restaurant, the grounds, the views, the trails, the Alpacas and Milo and Pepper, we couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be returning.

- Frances Hansen

The most MAGICAL place to have a wedding!!! Everything about our experience at the West Mountain Inn was nothing short of perfect. Amie was incredible at making sure everything about the weekend was what we envisioned. The property speaks for itself with how gorgeous and tucked away it is. Having the entire property to ourselves and our friends/family/wedding party was so special and using each part of the property...See More

Stunning, stunning, stunning! Everything about our visit was exceptional. Great food, great accommodations and great hiking trails right on the property. All of the employees we encountered were friendly and helpful. The Inn is very clean and well kept. Highly recommend! My wife and I will return!

- Ted Harrison

West Mountain Inn was the absolute perfect place to get married. I truly don’t know how to say enough good things. From start to finish, Amie was more than just an innkeeper—she was our wedding planner, our day-of coordinator, and what felt like our friend. Everyone warned us that “something always goes wrong” at a wedding, but ours went flawlessly. Not a single thing went wrong—every detail was executed...See More
