It was honestly a great place, but it definitely didn't seem like it was cleaned for a good while. Was dusty, cobwebs, and sticky places on tables. Otherwise it was nice.

Mountain stay

The hotel is a bit off the strip. The walkway to the room is a ramp that is not smooth, it needs to be redone. The beds were not the best, the sheets were so thin you could see the mattress underneath. The porch next to the stream was a great way to relax at night.

We really loved the property it was nice and clean and it gave a cabin feel and the river out back was so relaxing and calming, my husband never wanted to come in. The breakfast was always hot and it was plenty to eat. We would definitely come back again.
