I know Skinny's, and I knew Skinny himself. I even bartended there one night when Skinny was out of town. Skinny passed in 2008, but the Halfway Inn lives on with new owners - though we almost lost it to fire this past summer.
I haven't been in there in a few years, but it's always good for a cold beer and a laugh. It's closed during the winter months (November - April I believe)
Over the past couple of years, they have been building some basic cabins on site, but I don't know if they rent rooms out.
