Great Stay highly recommended.

We loved our stay at the drift! The cabin was clean spacious and I love that you’re not sharing a wall with anyone. The location is perfect walking distance to downtown and the hot springs. Being alongside the river was so nice too! Highly recommend!

Doesn’t get any better. The builders did an amazing job! Did not cut any corners and this place is designed very well. I would stay here anytime. I have stayed in many places much more expensive that are not nearly as nice as this. Very well thought out.
