Spent a few days up here to hike some trails and get away from the city. This is one of my favorite spots, not only because of the homey feel but because the location is central to many shops and entertainment. Keep in mind it's not a 5 star hotel, the rooms have some character. I have stayed here before and would stay again.

Beautiful place! Review checkin details ahead!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The check in was a little tricky. They don’t seem to have anyone in the office except for very select hours. I guess they tried to contact us but as we didn’t have phone service, we didn’t receive the text regarding checkin. Thankfully we ran into another guest who had the contact number for the owner and we were able to connect and check in. The place is spacious and very nice! Kitchen is well stocked with most of what you need to cook. No can opener but everything else was good! Would definitely stay here again!

Bed is bad and gave my wife back pain. Room code is a 4 digit number and so feels very insecure, there is no latch to close when you are inside.
