We enjoyed the proximity to the national forest. There was still snow on the ground from a big storm the weekend before we arrived, but once it melted, we went on some beautiful, longer
hikes. The accommodations are well appointed, attractive, and very comfortable and cozy. The dogs loved the surrounding area, but it's not fully fenced, so if you have a dog that likes to chase rabbits or deer, better plan on keeping on the leash. There is lots of deck space with beautiful views. The beds were very comfortable... high quality linens, etc. I highly recommend!
