10/10 Excellent
"Great was such a great, cute, comfy place to stay! It is in a very convenient area for anywhere you need to travel in the Gorge and dining. My husband drinks coffee and LOVED the ground coffee that was provided. The kitchen had everything we needed. Firewood is provided for the fire pits. Lots of little extra things to use while you’re there. We were very impressed!!"
