I believe I spoke with Michelle and she was extremely friendly and helpful about the booking. The room was nice just like pictured. Overall room was clean except for the remote had white stuff all over and it looked like it hadn’t been wiped down. As well as the blue comforter looked like it needed to be washed and had stuff all over. Would stay again though. Cute little quiet spot in heber.

We enjoy staying in this little hideaway. The walk to Three Bears Cafe next door for a great breakfast, or dinner at the Red Onion down the road. There are side x side trails with plenty of wildlife just a ride right out of the parking lot.

The room is very clean and cute. Staff very friendly and responsive, although they are not on site. A few not so great things, the walls are paper thin. We had a baby in the next room over. You can hear crying and talking. Fortunately, they were early to bed! Our bed didn't have a top sheet. We called and was told they probably ran out of clean ones. If you need a stop over this is convenient, right off the highway. Several restaurants nearby.

Was never sent information on how to get into the room so we sat out front for a half hour trying to get someone to call us back with a code, it said they were open until 10 but we left a message at 9:30 and sat out front until after 10 with no response.
