Very Good

Excellent place to stay! Literally the small tv was the only drawback, but that’s a footnote. This place was way to check into, great to stay in, easily accessible to everything nearby. It’s the perfect getaway place and I can’t wait to come back multiple times this year. Huge fan.
Room was mostly clean but you’re in the mountains with lots of dirt so it wasn’t pristine. Bed was comfortable.
Water pressure was good.
Didn’t use the kitchen at all. Set our suitcases on the futon in the living room.
Check in/out was super easy.
It was fine for one night but probably wouldn’t stay again for longer than that.

Clean room and perfect spot , close and easy access to everything!
Thanks , hope to comeback soon !
Small room, but big bed and had everything I needed. The only downside was that all the pillows were very big and dense, hard rather than soft. Otherwise, I stay here often and am always satisfied. Nice staff.
I have stayed here numerous times over the last 2 years. It’s a great property, cabins are always ready when you arrive, check in and out is so simplistic. It’s amazing. I return time after time and they never disappoint.
Room wasn't bad. 2nd floor with a outside patio. However the wooden fence around the patio was partially knocked down. It would be nice to have an iron and ironing board, not a deal breaker. I'd stay there again. Close to downtown.
You can check into the property by texting and then you are issued the lobby and room codes. I didnt know this and Expedia doesnt provide the property with a phone number to be contacted at.
Andrew was great and very approachable and helpful.
The main building needs to be opened up to air out the lobby and hotel area upstairs. It had a dusty odor.
Property is kept up nicely. Cuhions and seat right outside the lonby are not inviting as they are full of sand and blocked by tables.
Cabin areas looked great. Picnic tables and shady trees.
The onsite restaurant was awesome. Sam was very helpful. Good Pho.
