Perfect for families

I love this location. Its all about covenant locations and parking when it comes to certain stays. And this one is it. Its not a 5star hotel. Its more of a rustic lodge stay. With all the things you need and some. Its clean, friendly service with prompt response

This was the perfect place for us for our mountain biking adventure. Location was excellent, walkable, and we rarely had to use our car. The layout of the building is great for minimal noise issues. Although these are older units, the rustic charm was a cool vibe and everything was in working order with no issues at all. Highly recommend!
