Overall the stay was good. The room was clean and check in and check out were very easy. The room was not stocked with everything that was advertised, the shower temperature control was backwards and when we first got to the room someone had left the door wide open.

We enjoy staying in this little hideaway. The walk to Three Bears Cafe next door for a great breakfast, or dinner at the Red Onion down the road. There are side x side trails with plenty of wildlife just a ride right out of the parking lot.
