Beautiful location and newly updated rooms. The owner was super friendly and helpful. Don't be put off by the outside when you drive up. They are in the process of remodeling and opening the bar and restaurant. The rooms and the view are amazing. Currently not any dining options within 10ish miles so bring your own. Come stay here!

Don’t let the building scare you, it’s a work in progress, rooms were nice and freshly remodeled, decent bathroom, they are working on the dinning area / bar to be ready in future- decent place, kind of expensive for what it is, but so is the area…
