Beautiful location! The hotel is old, but the bed was comfortable. The view from our little porch was outstanding. I would go back for that alone. The food in their dining room is mediocre.

The dining and food service were excellent. All meals and the wait staff were wonderful and made us feel at home. -Our room was not cleaned of pet hair on the floors before or during our stay. This concerned us since we mentioned is to the front desk after we checked in and nothing was done about the issue. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Beautiful setting and area. For the high room rate, too bad the rooms don't have a bit more rustic lodge feeling. They really need a bit of sprucing up. Since there is no cell coverage there, the internet connection needs improvement. Very nice dining room and food. The staff are quite helpful and friendly.

Amazing location

Location is absolutely amazing. Food was excellent. Staff were very friendly, there was a shortage of staff, which led to the bar closing. There was also a shortage on the housekeeping side, we stayed for 3 nights and had to ask for clean towels.

Rustic- but in the best kind of way. Don’t expect a spa, but you will leave refreshed.
