This hotel is sooo cute and quirky. Full of personality. We absolutely loved our stay here! It had a great vibe. They offer lots of activities. During the evening you make friends around the fire pit. Short walk to the Main Street. The staff was friendly. We will definitely stay here again next year when we drop our son off at camp again.

It’s such a beautiful hotel and it’s close to the shopping area, great restaurants, and it’s not too far from the waterfalls and hiking spots. Staff were incredibly kind and checking in and out was super easy. We chose a patio room which was really easy to access as we just had to park outside our room. The room was thoughtfully decorated, gorgeous interior and very cozy beds. The bathroom was clean and spacious. Overall it’s a great hotel and it helped make our trip magical.
