We really loved our cabin and the amenities. My main issue was the over flowing garbage bins in plain view. It ruins the atmosphere for this lovely resort with it's sight and smells as you are walking around the resort.

I stayed for one night at the resort in one of the Aspen studio units. The unit itself was very clean and cozy. The staff i communicated with were very friendly and polite. I was on a road trip so I only stayed the one night, but I wish I had stayed longer! I would highly recommend this resort for anyone traveling through the area.
