From the 2006 Book: "For over 40 years the Van Dyke and Hillman families have pulled out all the stops - treating guests at the Golden Eagle as if they were family, tending to every detail no matter how small, to make people feel that they aren't simply spending the night, but that they've come home." |

"I just wanted to say thanks for an excellent
mini-vacation after
Christmas -- we really enjoyed our stay with you from Dec. 25-28. Things
that make the Golden Eagle perfect for us include: recreational opportunities
like the pool and complimentary use of snowshoes; breakfast on the premises;
tea and coffee available both in the lobby and in the rooms; a computer available
for use by guests; the warm and welcoming reception from everyone working
at the main desk; and most important, the ability to walk to movies, nature
trails, recreational path, restaurants, and shops in town, without having
to get into the car. In fact, that has become the principal criterion for
us in our choice of places to stay these days -- "walkability" --
and the Golden Eagle is pretty high on the list in that respect."
