This property is a gem. It was incredibly well kept. All of the staff was kind, happy, and accommodating. The breakfast was one of the best free hotel breakfasts I've ever had, and the firepits with complimentary smore kits was the sweetest gesture I've seen at a place of lodging, yet. 10/10 would recommend and I will be returning.

Staff was very pleasant and the view was fantastic. The only down side was the toilet seat was loose and the drain in the tub was improperly installed as that you had to manually hold down the drain lever to drain out the tub after your shower. A nuisance, but that won't stop us from returning next year.
