9.4 user rating

The staff at this lovely property made our stay really special. The cabin was immaculate and comfortable, and having a restaurant on property was very convenient. We will definitely stay here again!
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!
We love this hotel. Beautiful and very good service 👍👍, we will back here in winter ❄️.
