Check in wasn't as friendly of an experience as I would have hoped. I'm in the middle of nowhere and have never stayed there before. I kind of felt like I was wasting their time a bit, but the restaurant staff were amazing! Other than that, we absolutely loved the stay and will book again if down this way.
We stayed in one of the A-frame cabins with a kitchenette and no bathroom. The bathroom was a few minute walk down the gravel road. The cabin was cute and the kitchenette was adequately stocked. There was only one power outlet we could find in the cabin. There's really not much around, but the hotel did have a restaurant and gas.
It was adequate for our needs for one night, but any longer and the walk to the bathroom would've become annoying.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Units a bit tired, no WiFi in units, price ok if have full occupancy but expensive relative to other options if only two people. Cafe prices on high side relative to service / quality but this is a remote area with few alternatives nearby. Staff pleasant.
