The River is right across from us and there are numerous access points to get to the river.
*Please note that while we do have wifi on the property, high mountain winds and storms do cause occasional outages which are beyond the control of the property hosts.

Its ok, nothing to write home about.
Mediocre. The room is too warm and stuffy, air conditioner doesnt work well at all. Bedding, sheets, towels etc were clean. Bed was comfortable though. Hard to see parking lot entrance is hard to see in the dark.
