The Gray Ghost Inn was built in various stages from the
late 1950's into the 70's. Previous owners John and Kay Collingwood owned
the Inn for 16 years and did extensive
renovations and improvements.
Since taking ownership of the Inn
in January of 2000, Magnus and Carina has renovated many of the rooms, the
outdoor hot tub, built a new lobby and added the Tavern. They have also
added a seasonal heated outdoor pool and a fire pit in the backyard.
The name - Gray Ghost - does not have anything to do
with ghosts as many people might think. It is actually the name of a fly
fishing lure. So rest assured you will have a peaceful and enjoyable stay
at the Gray Ghost Inn.
