"Very cozy and spacious. It easily sleeps 8 people. The host was very nice and easy to communicate. He would keep us posted with the weather and instructions for the house. He let us check in and out without any time restrictions. The place is just 20 min drive from the dodge ridge ski resort. The place was very tidy and clean with the exception of the fridge and the microwave. I would strongly recommend it to stay. "

The cabin had a fully equipped kitchen, with all the necessary appliances, utilities, pots, pans, and even some seasoning. The five rooms had plenty of blankets and pillows. The bathrooms were stocked up with the necessary items such as, towels, shampoo and...

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We arrived late in the evening after spending the entire day in the national park, tired but happy, and this hotel was exactly what our family needed. We still had about an hour before the pool closed, so the kids were able to enjoy a swim and relax after such a long and active day. It was the perfect way to end the evening. The room was very spacious, spotlessly clean, and comfortable. The hotel’s location was also very convenient, with major stores and everything you might need just a short drive away. I would especially like to mention the staff. Before our trip I had read a few less-than-positive reviews, but our experience was completely different. Everyone we met was genuinely kind and welcoming—from the front desk staff at check-in to the lovely lady serving breakfast. They made us feel truly welcome throughout our stay. Breakfast was another pleasant surprise. It had everything we needed to start the day before another long drive and adventure. There was a good variety of options, and we especially enjoyed being able to make fresh waffles ourselves. It was such a nice touch and made breakfast even more enjoyable. Overall, this hotel left our family with a wonderful impression. It was clean, comfortable, welcoming, and exactly the kind of place where you can relax and recharge during a road trip. We would definitely stay here again."
