"We really enjoyed the mountain drive getting to and from the property. The view from our room was amazing. Only there overnight so we didn't hike the many trails, or kayak on the lake. The property well equipped with tips and rentals. Really nice and comfortable common area with a fire place. Nice to gather round in the morning and evening. The game pieces were bits of tree trunk, with bark, and painted different colours."
