I did not read the part about the pet fee I booked for 2 days but I only had money on me for the dog to say one they basically told me I could leave then. Also bring up there and ask for batteries for the remote control they said they would be around about 4:00 p.m. I asked at 11:00 a.m. cannot watch TV all day I ended up leaving after the first night due to no TV I was pissed because they told me I could leave over the pet fee very rude the room had a smell that you absolutely could not get past!!

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
