All the staff was very pleasant & accommodating. Everything is clean… Wish I would have known the fireplace is nothing more than a chaffing dish can heater & the pull out couch is a futon that is very uncomfortable… I guess I expected a little more but it’s not horrible.

We liked the hot tub after a 6 mile hike! The pool was nice also. The continental breakfast had fruit, yogurt and packaged pastries and the coffee was very good! Sighting of a 12 point bull elk lounging across the creek behind the property was a real plus!!!
