You can imagine that the Caveman Room and the Buffalo Room are vastly different from the Bridal Falls or the Love Nest, so it's important to check out the website where all the rooms are shown in detail, and make the right choice. Some have balconies, some have fireplaces, rocks or waterfalls, and some are wheelchair accessible.

Madonna Inn: Facilities

For dining, the Madonna Inn offers the casual Copper Café and Pastry Shop, or the smart-casual fine dining of the Gold Rush Steak House, where you can also get a seafood dinner as well as the specialty oak-pit-barbecued steak.
