We were looking for a place to stay while hiking and this was perfect. Self check in is great for a flexible arrival. It’s close enough to town that it’s easy to go out to eat. The view from the observation deck was beautiful!
Really nice getaway, able to book last minute, had misunderstanding regarding "pet friendly" but they worked with us so that our pet could come and stay. Loved the property, the facility was top notch once you figure out how to operate the front door lock LOL!! Room was super nice, enjoyed the large soaking tub!!

Property has potential
Unfortunately, the room we were had not been adequately maintained. The jacuzzi was inoperable, the shower was touchy as the faucet would not stay in place so you either got cold or extremely hot water, the lighting was poor, and there were holes in the wall where something had been removed. A little investment in updating the property and converting it into a bed and breakfast would be prudent. The grounds and location were excellent.
