A wonderful place to spend the night
The property was very nice, I enjoyed the interactive troll themed hiking trails and spring fed hot tubs in the evening. Cabins were clean and cozy, probably the comfiest mattress I slept on durning my trip. Each cabin had a small mini fridge and the shared bathrooms were only a 30 second walk away. Restaurant on site was good as well, friendly staff and delicious food. The waterfall is overlooks was stunning. All in all this was my favorite stay of my trip, I hope to return in the future.
the bathrooms are a good 5 to 10minute walk from your stay, but these pods were so cute and memorable. we loved our stay here! the night skies were clear and we were able to see both stars and northern lights together. it's nestled into a woodsy area so it was very quiet and peaceful.
