Rustic Luxury
This hotel consists of rustic cabins with a restaurant. My cabin could not have been more comfortable and cozy. With a king size bed, gas fireplace, full kitchen and nice bathroom, it felt very luxurious. It would have been nice to have a microwave and the bathroom sink was really small. I also had to learn how to use a French press and couldn’t use the coffee I brought, but the little inconveniences were minor. I would gladly stay here again.

I’ll be back
Loved this beautiful place. The area is gorgeous and although by a road you cannot hear the traffic. The cabins are so cute and clean. They provide wood for the fireplace on the property. We went for the summer so did not use the wood stove in the cabin. The restaurant has good food and drinks! Also loved the services they provided. Very friendly
