Great owners. They are friendly and helpful. They make a community campfire each night and we enjoyed meeting travelers from many places. We had a huge storm roll through and they were immediately checking on us and clearing fallen branches. We plan to return!

The owners had a bar-b-que for all of the guests on Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend. The bonfire each night is a great "get to know you" experience. They go above and beyond.

The staff were incredibly helpful. We ended up arriving after the set check in time due to a mixup with the time zones but they were very kind and understanding. They recommended a lot of local sights and trails and were very easy to talk to. The room itself was very cozy and the amenities were more than enough. Definitely worth a stay if you’re ever in the area.
