This entire place was great. There’s nothing fancy. It’s simple it’s relaxing it’s clean people were great the fire pits were lit the hot tub was running. I didn’t use the hot tub out side in the snow but the people in there seemed to be having a great time. Since there will be a next time I’ll definitely try that out.

Our stay was fine. Our room was below expectations. Weird portable A/c with the hose going through the window. No entry rug or mat. Certainparts of the room look tired and not well maintained. Cracked caulking, beat up base boards, etc. I’ve stayed in worse places. EV charging was a definite plus, and the coffee from the little cafe was tasty.

Customer service is great! Very accommodating and helpful. The rooms were just ok. Small in size, especially the bathroom. Balcony was ok but not private. The rooms were affordable and the location is good. The restaurant on the property is convenient and the live music and atmosphere is cool. Not sure if I would stay again but I would recommend it to friends on a budget. Overall my stay was fine. I appreciate good service.
