Karakahl Country Inn

Well the website makes it look better than it is. The lobby smelled of old man. Our room had holes in carpet and the carpet was filthy. And Bed Bugs!!!!!!! Yes, we just found a ton of bed bug bites!! But hey, that's what you get for $55 right?

Hi guys
I am a seasoned photographer,that has shot around the world.I have stayed in every possible type and grade of hotel motel,Inn.This place is a gem,for 55 bucks it's a fun place that has seen it's heyday but is clean and comfortable.I was in the area with a bunch of Lands' End expats,who  recommended it. I would not compare it to a Four  Seasons but I think that you're missing the point if you do.I want to get back there when the snow goes and hit Gordon Creek with my 4 weight. Lots of hot water for the shower by the way.

It is a shame ... no, it is a crime, that this place has been allowed to slip so far into the abyss. If you look at the architectural bones of the place it is seriously cool. Yes, it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, which is why we chose to stay here in the first place.

A simple coat of paint and a few nails and screws in the right places would go a long way to restore this place to a much higher level. Throw in a few new mattresses and box springs and you'd have an oasis located in downtown Mt. Horeb.

It made me think about how back in the old Roman era, there must have been a time when someone commented that the old Coliseum was starting to look tacky and run down. Today it is a beloved beautiful ruin. Somehow, I don't think Karakahl Country Inn will ultimately achieve beloved beautiful ruin status, so I think someone, somewhere better spruce the place up or we will lose a FLW treasure.
