"We arrived at 315, no staff on site and room wasn’t ready. Came back 2 hours later to check in and got into the room. It was horrible, looked like bad emergency accommodation. Too many things wrong to even explain. The spray painted walls with overspray on the door just one thing. It was so bad that we booked another motel and left as soon as we could. Do not waste your money here, you will live to regret it!"
"Absolutely beautiful! The cabin is stunning. So much room inside, gorgeous views. Outside is scenically stunning. So peaceful and quiet. Will most definitely be staying again.
The walk up to the cabin is beautiful, inside and outside just stunning!"

"We loved the location of our cabin with it being tucked away and beautifully quiet. The rooms were clean and nicely presented and the shower was lovely and hot! The only negative was that we noticed a smell of cigarette smoke in the bedroom with the bunk beds, so we left the window open most of our stay and kept the bedroom door shut."
