Cabin and stunning views

this was an amazing place to stay facing the turnagain arm. Was a great place to rest after a day of adventuring and exploring. There’s even a bar and restaurant downstairs to get food as well.

It’s a good overnight stay. The location is great, small bedroom but enough if you are only staying for one night or two. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We I’ll stay here again.
