Beautiful location, the Peak restaurant was amazing, great food and great customer service. Everyone is very friendly. The rooms where nice and comfortable. The only down side was that the walls where a little thin. Any little sounds would wake my dogs up. But besides that it was a great stay and very dog friendly which was a great plus.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
Room was inadequate. Bed small, toilet wasn't working, there was a poke with 3 hanger for clothes, hairdryer didn't work, screen on window was torn halfway off, heater doesn't always work. They give you 3 small bath towels and sink on bathroom has no place to put toiletries. And no handicap park by rooms
Look closely in the corner is the pole to hang clothes. And the bed has a gap that the pillows fall into while you try to sleep
No counter in bather for toiletries. You get two small body towels. No where to put a change of clothes. Toilet wasn't working when we got to the room.
Refrigerator and tv and small trashcan
Small bed for 2 adults. Heater needed to be turned on by front desk.
