Michaela

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overall, everything was great! The mountain views were beautiful, and the place had a cozy, rustic feel. It was quiet, the beds were comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. The lake and pool were drained since it was the off-season, but that was totally fine—we just needed a place to stay while visiting family. The only things I wish the room had were a mini fridge and microwave. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again and explore more , especially once the season starts.
