This place was excellent. We stayed 1 night passing through and it was better than advertised. Amazing view, quiet & clean. I liked that you can easily park right outside of your room. The area was safe and secluded feeling. Would definitely stay here again.

Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The property had a beautiful mountain view. My reasons for the lower rating on staff is that management is remote. Communication was excellent; prompt response to texts and clear instructions. But there are no “staff” on the premises. I would stay here again and recommend to others.

Sign in is by texting a room number and lock code to you. You were to get it at 3pm, I had to call the contact number as I didn't receive the text. Judy showed up in a few minutes and all was good.

Great views, great place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Early Blue. They were very dog friendly which we loved and the check-in check out process was easy and straightforward. We will definitely visit again.
