Location great. I was there two nights so was able to leave my car parked there while I walked to Anakeesta and spent the day there. Breakfast was good. Thankful there was a safe in my room. Room was clean, large, and comfortable. I enjoyed hearing the creek while falling asleep. The only negative is that the room sorely needs to be refurbished.

The stay was beautiful. Our room backed a creek that was loud, but good white noise for sleeping. A short walk to the strip, and it was just far enough to be nice. There were a few ant swarmers we found in our room, but who’d be surprised by bugs in a forest. Breakfast was nice, wish it had sausage or a meat.

The room was just as described: 2 queen beds, fireplace, and river view balcony. The river was right outside the balcony, and it was wonderful to sit out there to relax and listen to it. There is a walkway along the river, a covered bridge, and a community patio area. The beds were kinda saggy and soft, but did their jobs. Breakfast was carb heavy with biscuits and gravy, pancakes, bagels, fruit, and yogurt. Overall, I would stay again for the river view, the quietness, and the trolly stop right out front.
