A great place to stay
This is a fantastic place to stay! Suites are very charming, on main road so easy to find and easy to go out sight seeing. The hosts are very responsive and do a great job!
I loved the beautiful cabin with two full bedrooms with closets and a full equipped kitchen and lovely bathroom and living room and dining room table. Looks newly renovated.
They thought of everything to make guests happy. The welcome center looked new with beautiful open layout with new pool table , fishing poles , different games and activities. I Also loved the porch overlooking the creek and mountains!
Absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained.
I will definitely be back for another getaway. It’s absolutely gorgeous out there!
