Blackbird Inn

Top choice in Northern Mountains


Locals' favorite and welcoming to everyone, the Blackbird is the social hub of tiny Clio (a short drive from Graeagle). Housed in a former hotel and general store, its decor is cozy antique and its beer and wine list is short but well picked. Excellent pizzas and hot drinks are also available.

Its comfortable bedrooms ($79 to $99) make it a great base for exploring.
