While it wasn't convenient to anything, property and staff were so pleasant. It would be nice to have a meal choiceor even cup of tea, water-after breakfast. Wine n cheese hour on beautiful grounds would be beneficial and profitable!

Parking was a bit wonky but other than that enjoyed our stay. Nice not sharing walls. The patio outside the cabin was nice for breakfast. Will stay again. The RV park looked very nice as well. The restaurant was speedy but the food and atmosphere were nice.

Nice welcome

We were able to check-in a bit early which was very convenient. Our bush plane flight came in at noon from Eagle and our flight to Seattle did not leave until 12:15am so we needed a room for just a few hours to shower and repack.
