Amazing place to stay. The hike up the canyon so see the waterfalls was fairly easy and well worth it. Take the full hike up to the upper falls. They are stunning!

Loved the character of the place: a throwback to the 1930s with cabins, vintage cars and memorabilia, but with modern amenities. Fhsh & chips at the Blackswift Bistro was the best I've ever had.

So Peaceful

Loved how secluded this place was and the proximity to Johnston Canyon. Our bungalow was very comfortable. We wished we could have had a microwave in our room, but, not complaining about that!!
