Check in was so quick and the people were so kind! We were able to learn about local activities and dining! The room was spacious and had everything we ended. Far enough from town for beautiful scenery but close enough that everything was a 10min drive or less. Incredible stay!

The incredible views and warm and welcoming proprietors really stood out. Our room was comfortable, clean and spacious. We arrived rather late and only stayed one night, so we didn't avail ourselves of all they had to offer (e.g., cold pool, hot tub and breakfast). But we would gladly stay there again.
