50th Sisters Hiking Trip - 5 STAR Review!
My sister and I planned this as part of our "week of adventures" get away and had a lovely stay. The location and check-in would have been perfect had we arrived during daylight hours, however due to airline cancellations and delays we arrived past dark. We loved staying here and would highly recommend, the river was perfect! Just know you are far into the countryside and not close to any markets so plan to be onsite during your stay. Sadly the trails listed are almost unusable as the roads were severely damaged due to storms and the mosquitos were unbearable, so if you plan to do a hike on Ladybug Trail, wear a mosquito net!".
