This place is a hidden gem! The rooms are very clean and you feel like you are staying in a cabin. The firepits are lit each morning and evening to enjoy morning coffee or a night cap. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Kasha, especially went above and beyond. Super friendly. The hotel is walking distance to the parkway. We will definitely recommend this boutique hotel to family and friends. We will be back!

Newly remodeled and up-to-date. Modern, yet cozy and comfortable. Clean and top-notch. The gas fire pits in front of the units is an added plus. It's off the downtown craziness, yet easy to get everywhere even in heavy traffic. The staff is very friendly and the manager, Kesha, is personable and attentive. She had great ideas on local things to do and where to eat and was spot-on with every recommendation. Highly recommend this locale.

Room was great! Plenty of bedding and pillows, comfortable beds, high ceilings which made things feel bigger, huge shower and double sinks. Included continental breakfast that went until 10:30 was nice, but options were pretty sparse and repetitive with additional for-purchase options only so-so as well. The fire pit areas were lovely and cozy, and never crowded as there aren’t very many units. Location was great—easily walkable to the Parkway while still tucked away from all the busyness and crowds.

Fantastic experience from booking through check out. Staff answered questions promptly prior to check in and responded to requests for towels within 20 minutes (which was appreciated, but not needed as I requested for the next day). Dinner was fabulous, staff was exceptional. Breakfast is quick grab and go, or hot food (extra cost) to order if required. Traveled with group of 4 adult family members and suite was spacious and comfortable. Walk to town is quick, tough the uphill back is very dark so be mindful of wildlife. We had a wonderful time and I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Amazing clean cabin style place. Just off the main strip with a 10 minute walk. Beats paying for parking for sure. Peaceful fire pit at night with a stream to listen to while you relax. Would highly recommend!
