Loved the proximity to the village. Also enjoyed getting a full cabin instead of a hotel room, really made the whole trip better. We really enjoyed having the private hot tub and kitchenette. We will definitely be back for a longer stay.
We stayed at cabin 15, it’s perfect for just two people. It has a queen size bed, decent sized bathroom with shower/tub, a mini fridge and microwave. It’s inside its own little fenced space which I really liked, they have some chairs outside and a jacuzzi.
Check-in is a little different than other places I’ve stayed at but still super easy, I just texted the provided number to check in and they gave me the code for the door. And then texted them after we left the property.
We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again when we’re in town.
Fun place to stay and conveniently located and close to the village. There is also an onsite restaurant. Friendly staff, easy check in. Room was spacious, clean, parking very close to the room.

Room was mostly clean but you’re in the mountains with lots of dirt so it wasn’t pristine. Bed was comfortable.
Water pressure was good.
Didn’t use the kitchen at all. Set our suitcases on the futon in the living room.
Check in/out was super easy.
It was fine for one night but probably wouldn’t stay again for longer than that.
I have stayed here numerous times over the last 2 years. It’s a great property, cabins are always ready when you arrive, check in and out is so simplistic. It’s amazing. I return time after time and they never disappoint.
You can check into the property by texting and then you are issued the lobby and room codes. I didnt know this and Expedia doesnt provide the property with a phone number to be contacted at.
Andrew was great and very approachable and helpful.
The main building needs to be opened up to air out the lobby and hotel area upstairs. It had a dusty odor.
Property is kept up nicely. Cuhions and seat right outside the lonby are not inviting as they are full of sand and blocked by tables.
Cabin areas looked great. Picnic tables and shady trees.
The onsite restaurant was awesome. Sam was very helpful. Good Pho.

Very nice cabins. Easy check in. Unique restaurant onsite!!! Will definitely stay again!
Cabin was cute and fit the 8 of us perfectly. Nice kitchen as we cooked and large table we all ate at. Beds were comfortable. We also used barbecue. Great fireplace… bring wood! Large Family room where we played games. Overall we had a blast and i’d recommend to come stay. They also had a restaurant on grounds. And to add we were walking distance from the Village.
The guy that checked us in was very friendly and inviting. The room was clean and we had no issues with anything. Very good access to most places of interest.
The kitchen was clean and equipped. On the other hand the bed was terrible and we barely slept both nights. The twin mattress had springs, it was so uncomfortable to sleep on, and made so much noise every time we moved, we could barely.
This resort has a great location and the people working there are very hospitable. I had a very comfortable evening and slept really well. It's close to town where there's free public parking.
