6/10 Good

It was nice enough and what we expected with one MAJOR issue. The bed was basically a futon cushion on a low wood platform. My wife and I did not sleep well at all. The pillows were awful. If you are expecting camping conditions then it would work for you. The bed was not acceptable for the hotel price I paid.

Everything was perfect. I love that we be one with nature. It snowed when we were there so it was an added super great experience coming from a city girl.

Rustic Luxury
This hotel consists of rustic cabins with a restaurant. My cabin could not have been more comfortable and cozy. With a king size bed, gas fireplace, full kitchen and nice bathroom, it felt very luxurious. It would have been nice to have a microwave and the bathroom sink was really small. I also had to learn how to use a French press and couldn’t use the coffee I brought, but the little inconveniences were minor. I would gladly stay here again.

I’ll be back
Loved this beautiful place. The area is gorgeous and although by a road you cannot hear the traffic. The cabins are so cute and clean. They provide wood for the fireplace on the property. We went for the summer so did not use the wood stove in the cabin. The restaurant has good food and drinks! Also loved the services they provided. Very friendly

Time to relax
When I booked this room at last minute I didn’t realize it didn’t have a tv or a fridge/microwave. Although not a huge problem. Wi-fi worked well in my room. I was checked by Grace she was so nice and helpful especially since I arrived late. I was greeted with a glass of wine and since I wasn’t drinking I was given other options and chose the apple juice. There was a complementary bottle of wine in the room. A nice coffee pot with great coffee. I loved the tub it has been awhile for a nice soak. Has thick and fluffy towels. Although the bed was closer to the floor than I like (cause I’m old and trouble getting up) it was very comfortable. Bedside table had a phone / watch charger which worked great. My room was next to the sauna which I didn’t use cause it was already in use by others. They do have wagons to take your items to your room so you don’t have to carry them. I did see some people working on other rooms so I can’t wait go back!!

Cabin was cute, clean, comfortable, staff was great! Quiet and nice, hiking trails, I love it! No wifi in the cabins but you can connect in the lobby and make calls or so in the area next to it. They greet you with some wine, they have coffee and tea bar for no charge and you can keep the reusable water bottles for free. I’m going back in 2 weeks !! I didn’t use it but they have sauna room for free too, and they provide nice bathrobes, Dyson hairdryer, etc.

We absolutely loved our stay! I was impressed by the thorough communication we had with the priority prior to us even arriving. They made everything so seamless. When we got to our room our eyes lit up. The cabin was pristine, had beautiful decor, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The nice toiletries also impressed. We loved the touch of luxury with wine and comfy robes. The grounds were quiet, everyone was respectful. There is a sauna to enjoy, a fire pit, there are nearby trails and I’d even say the property itself is peaceful to walk around. We can’t wait to visit again. There is nothing we would change, everything was great!

The setting of quaint cabins spaced adequately apart is wonderful. Each cabin is unique, ours was one of the smaller ones, but felt very spacious. Great trails and walking paths. Dinner was superb!! The only thing missing was pastries or something similar for breakfast before 9am. We went to go fishing at 845 and luckily brought some fruit with us.

This place is perfect if you want to take the scenic route. The beach access is 30-40 minutes away from the hotel. Cabin may be too warm in the summer, we had to ask for a regular stand fan in addition to the tower fan. The cabin has all the kitchen utensils, pots, pans, etc. Our cabin didn’t have a sink in the bathroom though. The staff when we got there was accommodating, however the AM person was always on her phone and didn’t want to be bothered at all. It’s a good experience if you want a peaceful place away from gadgets.
