The staff are fantastic! The entire town on Esclante lost power and the staff did everything they could to keep guests happy and comfortable. The rooms come with hiking guides for the area. It made for a great stay. Will come again

Older property that has been refurbished. Beds were comfortable. Shower was great. Not many units so it felt very private. Quiet. Lot of history in the town, very walkable. Unit was very clean. Would stay again.

Large room. Nothing fancy but had a full fridge, small electric stove, microwave and a few kitchen supplies. Convenient location for walking into town. Pay attention to what is open and when in town so you can stock up on a few groceries or know which restaurants have breakfast or dinner available.
