I really enjoyed my stay.. only suggestion is that my room was advertised incorrectly and I requested a different room. The room they gave me was still not what I had reserved as advertised but it was sufficient and the property is so nice I just rolled with it.

Overall, our stay was good, great locations to access the local trails and sites. Was disappointed there was no microwave in the room, but the front desk said there was one we could use in the "hospitality section" in the restaurant. However, when we tried to use it, the guy working there kicked us out and said we must order something from the restaurant to even sit there. All we wanted to do is warm up some food, but was not having it. On the way out, we ran into some guys who just wanted to have a beer, but the same restaurant worker (manager) told them they couldn't order any drinks without ordering food. We ate at this restaurant our first night and it was pitifully inadequate to resemble qualify food. Would not recommend eating there, but with such limited options, they obviously don't seem to care if they do or don't take pride in their offerings. However, as far as the lodging goes, the beds were too soft if you have back issues. No housekeeping, towel service, or property amenities. Staff was pleasant enough, but nothing that would standout. Location is what you're getting here. Why they can't seem to find a way to put a $45 microwave in the the rooms is beyond any reasonable excuse for a modern lodging facility.
