I loved how this hotel was made to feel like a cabin. The family run operation made me feel like I was a guest in someone’s home, complete with a hand delivered bottle of wine. It was a perfect long weekend getaway.

The room has a living area and sleeping area with plenty of space. Everything is well maintained and was very clean upon arrival. It is a small facility, so not a ton of people making it a nice hybrid between a cabin and a hotel. Check in was easy. We would choose to stay here again if visiting the area.
