Hidden Surprise

This hotel is ideal if you're looking to step back in time to the late 90s early 2000s. From the hotel keychain (yes, they still give keys) to the actual cable wire plugged into the TV. Despite the age, we found this place to be incredibly cozy and clean. This hotel has not been tainted by the modern world and it holds a beautiful surprise behind it. Words can't describe the beauty (please see attached photo). We discovered beavers swimming and playing along the creekside. Fireflies glowing in the night sky. This place quickly became a favorite for my nature loving family.

Disliked: Staff & service
The rooms were stinking of roaches. The staff didnt seem very approchable and knowledgeable regarding the area around. Simming pool is closed suring cold days which is obvious. other than that its a quiet place and the sound of the river running was soothing if u ignore the dogs barking from boarding kennel next door.

Fishing

Stayed here for five days with two other friends on a fishing trip in and around the area. The cabin was a nice older rustic cabin that was absolutely huge. Had all the amenities that we could need and was well kept up and very clean. The hosts were very polite and accommodating. And seeing elk walk through the yard was an added bonus. Would definitely stay there again.
