The place is beautiful and quiet. Recommend using the wheelbarrow they have to get to your tent. It's quite the hike. And make sure to bring food just in case the kitchen closes down so nice there aren't many options in the area. Quiet areas to walk around and enjoy the scenery.

Room is dated and wasn't very clean. Uncomfortable furniture and beds. No hangers or dresser to put clothes away. Restaurant closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Food is mediocre. Breakfast was super greasy. Staff was great and so was the view. Quiet facility and didn't seem crowded, despite being fully booked.

It was everything good and around the view is awesome. But is main thing is not air conditioning in any room so we felt hot all night. And no microwaves in the room. Rooms needs some works done like washroom door not working properly. But otherwise hotel on very nice view.

Beautiful area as far as your view. But the cabin we stayed in had a terrible sewage smell. Beautiful area surrounding the cabins though. Do not recommend the dining on site. Food was not worth the high price.
