This place is gorgeous. Rustic lodge look. Beautiful fireplaces inside and out. Rooms were spacious and nice. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is our toilet kept running and you had to fiddle with the tank each time. But staff were very responsive when we first said something. Other than that, I was impressed! I will definitely stay here again!

The hotel room was clean. The staff was friendly and super helpful. The breakfast was standard. We are organic food, alternative milk kind of eaters, so we understand that our preference is hard to accommodate. The pool and gym was older and they connected into people's rooms, which was different. They had games in the lobby and a fire pit which was nice. I think for the 80$ a night price, its a fare deal.
