Wonderful

It was a very quiet setting up a long gravel drive through the woods overlooking the mountains. Only downside was that there were a few bugs in the room and the outdoor pool was not heated. Enjoyed our quiet stay!
Bonus was that we were given an upgrade to our room without an extra charge
Our stay was nice. The location is beautiful and the staff we spoke with were very polite and helpful. We arrived very late and they made it really easy for us.

Mattress was the worst I’ve slept on during our 17 day holiday, staying at 10 other motels/hotels. Wasn’t aware that our bed would be in the loft area of cabin without air conditioning in 30 degree weather, didn’t show that in description. Otherwise cabin was cute and area was nice. Because of the bed I can only give them a 5/10.

The property and surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. A great place for hiking, mountain biking and family fun!
Everything was wonderful. The staff were just lovely. The only problem was we found the bed uncomfortable. It wasn’t unbearable, for one night. Overall, I would highly recommend this place. It is beautiful.

Although adequately clean, we found the kitchenette sink stopper to be not working and not enough items to BBQ with even though the information listed a BBQ to be available. The BBQ was not clean and we used aluminum foil over the grill for sanitary reasons.
