10/10 Excellent

We loved Riversong ❤️ We stayed in Cowboys Delight and it was perfect 🤠 The bed was super comfy and the tub was a real treat after a long hike in the Rockies. The deck was a lovely place to relax in the late afternoon sun and we enjoyed the 7 Benches Trail! We were lucky enough to find a handsome elk relaxing on the other side of the river, a real treat! Last but not least the breakfast - it was delicious and the selection of sweet and savoury was perfect! Thanks to the whole team at Riversong...
