Very nice property lots of amenities very pleasant staff and a great property. Split level with stairs with good handrails so if stairs are a problem for you, you might check if there are single level rooms available. Condo like rooms with washer and dryers that work very well.

It’s a nice place to stay. Nothing special and no great views. The brewery and the golf course are currently closed (August/Sept 2025). The check in is next to Cashiers and then you will drive to the condo style hotel room which is about a mile away. It’s conveniently located next to Cashiers and the one ski slope. It’s an average place to stay but an above average room. The rooms were very clean and well kept with a nice fireplace.

Clean, spacious and comfortable

We were just a few minutes away from the best Mexican restaurant, it was amazing! The beds and pillows were comfortable, the place was super clean! Plenty of space and everything we needed in the kitchen was there. We were very happy with our unit and would love to stay again sometime.

We had a beautiful suite, very comfortable bed, recently updated, very quiet beautiful setting from our balcony, in our suite we could hear our neighbors like they were in our kitchen. We were disappointed that the pools , lake, mini golf and all other outside amenities are back in town where you check in. But we loved our suite and would stay there again.

Great mountain getaway

What a beautiful place to stay in the mountains! The two bedroom condo was quiet and comfortable and very clean. In addition the amenities were amazing with an indoor pool and 2 hot tubs and an outdoor pool, also a fun miniature golf course and ping pong and pool tables. The hospitality was top notch, kept checking back with us- changed rooms for us because of noise! A great mountain get away!!
