What a wonderful place to rest our heads after a long day of driving! The rooms were so clean and cozy and there was a brewery and a coffee shop a block away so we could easily grab dinner when we got into town, and the a coffee/breakfast as we headed out the next morning. I would definitely stay there again!

The room was clean and spacious even for 3 people! The grounds were great for an outdoor BBQ which was greatly appreciated. The benches outside of the rooms were very comfortable for reading or taking in the surrounding mountains and evening stars and planets. A bit pricey, but very nice.

Please think twice before going here. The room had bath towels but no wash cloths or hand towels. No hot water in sink and the room fan had a bulb hanging no cover. We could not leave and lock our room because the key they gave did not work.

Almost every thing is good except that the shower drain on the floor is very slow, it need to be unclogged. And here’s another one, we heard people doing something next room and it woke us up otherwise the place is in quiet area area away from the main rood.
