Check in and out was very efficient and attendant was friendly. The room was very small (but clean) and the sink was backing up. It was remedied quickly, but we were lucky we discovered that quickly. We stayed at the property for a quick overnight, and it was perfect for that. Very rustic. For a pit stop I would absolutely recommend, for a longer stay however I would look at another option.

Would recommend

It was a very comfy room, although small, but it served our needs. It was a little inconvenient having to check in and out at the High Country and not the Apex though. It was nice having a pizza restaurant right across the street, and it was very good pizza. And apparently we were the only ones here.

Small room in older motor court but very quiet and clean. Owner is always present with a crew, cleaning up. Beware this is bear country and don't leave food outside or you will have big furry visitors at night.
