Great weekend stay. Staff was a highlight. Hiking trails out the back were a low light, but great hiking minutes away. Very clean, quiet, and the Mountain Brauhaus restaurant across the street was killer for some traditional German food. If I could change one thing, it would be to add some parking closer to the entrance for loading and unloading.

We booked the cliff view with balcony room based on another reviewer’s recommendation and it was worth it to sit outside and enjoy the view. Decent room, nice breakfast spread for the fruit (including avocado) and yogurt crowd. Self parking with a couple of accessibility spots. There is also hiking trails adjacent to the property.
