You don't need to visit multiple overlooks in the skyline drive if you stay here. Easy 5 min hike of Black Rock trail on premise will be sufficient. It truly was a hidden gem for fantastic view! There was no air conditioner but a portable fan in my room. It wasn't super hot in July but a ceiling fan would have been nice.

Perfect for a weekend get away! Friendly staff. On site restaurant was perfect. The menu really accommodates everyone and the servings size is huge!! We booked two rooms. One room was on the ground floor where the air conditioner from above leaked down making it impossible to sit on the 'porch' area in front of the room. It was not in front of thr door so only a minor inconvenience. The beds were too soft in one room and too hard in the other (probably should have swapped rooms with our friends). All in all, would stay again.
