Wonderful private cabins, with a bedroom, sitting area & kitchen.. Close proximity to the Hamner Thermal Springs & town. Outdoor setting that we enjoyed just before sunset. The kitchen is well equipped to make a meal if you so desire. The staff is friendly & helpful. The accommodation is spotless & comfortable. Highly recommended staying here!
