History
The Inn began in the early 19th century as the “Suspension Bridge House.” Around the turn of the 20th century it was renamed the Hurley Hotel, featuring a tavern and a one chair barber shop. In the early 1970s it was renamed the Hurley Mountain Inn. "Hollywood scoured the United States for just the right spot to feature in the movie Tootsie starring Dustin Hoffman, Bill Murray, Charles Durning and Jessica Lange. Of course, they picked the Hurley Mountain Inn." (http://www.hurleymountaininn.com/history.html)
