Nothing fancy but clean, spacious and really nice staff. Very much a 70’s old school campy vibe…great location and great wifi. Full kitchen with basics and having two separate bedrooms was nice. Living room was a good size and couch was comfy. Would totally stay again.

Loved having the front porch to sit outside and see the mountains even though there was road noise from the highway in front. The cabins were dated but the staff were friendly and accommodating.

This is an old property. The people in the property are exceptionally good. Very serviceable and very nice. If you looking for upscale accommodations look somewhere else. A great place to sit and enjoy the night. I love our stay here.

We booked here because of the kids wanting to swim. It would have been nice to know before we booked the pool was not on working order, the heater was out.
