Great place to stay, beautiful views. Was provided ear plugs, wasn’t sure why, then we found out the next morning. People upstairs walking was loud, so we figured that’s what the ear plugs were for. Other than being woken up at the crack of Dawn we actually really loved this place! Will definitely come back but will get a cabin next time to avoid the loud noises!
