I liked the feel of the place but not its scratchy towels. The place is generally quiet but the walls are thin enough that I heard my neighbor snoring. I'd upgrade to the cabins and bring my own towels next time.

I love this property. I love the updated facilities and how beautiful everything is. My ONLY issue with this place is the beds. Unfortunately, SOME of the rooms have outdated beds that are terribly sunken in and painfully uncomfortable. Everything else is amazing.

A Hidden Gem!

I don’t usually write reviews but this property deserves a fantastic review! It was quiet, serene, but at the same time, plenty of grounds to explore and activities to partake in. The on site restaurant called The Peak, had great service, food and drinks. I believe our stay would be excellent any time of the year! We are looking forward to our frequent return!!! Thank you!

Beautiful area, and very relaxing.

My husband, our dog and I enjoyed our stay. We open the door to our cabin and we were very mesmerized. Love our room very clean, comfortable, and cool. Our dog usually is very anxious in new places, but for some reason he was very peaceful and calm. The front dest was very helpful, very nice. Can't wait for our next visit.
