Fantastic stay, perfect location

A group of us stayed at the Stone House for a few days before a family wedding at Mountain Lake, and it was the perfect choice! All accommodations were thoughtful and comfortable, with an impressive blend of technology, comfort, and beautifully curated decor. We hosted a small pre-wedding cocktail reception here; the kitchen was super well-appointed and we found everything needed to prep and serve appetizers to our guests. Overall a five-star experience, we're looking forward to staying at the Stone House again in coming years!
