Everything was great!! The staff was helpful, the location 10-15min walk into town. Room was very spacious, clean, and the water pressure/temp was great. I would definitely stay here again. The balcony was nice to sit and relax. There were other reviews about bugs in the room. There were two, but it didnt bother me. All the way up at the very top of the ceiling, and also we're right by the woods. There's going to be bugs. The cafe has breakfast/lunch options. I also saw 2 black bears. Overall I very much enjoyed my stay and the scenery
