9.2/10 Wonderful! (168 reviews)
The room was very clean and well maintained. The staff from the desk to the restaurant were extremely polite and helpful. The location of the hotel is very peaceful and isolated, no cell service, no tv in room, nothing outside but beautiful nature and bright stars at night. The perfect spot to get away from the city life without going too far with your significant other.

Overall, I really did like the property. I definitely looked a little cheaper than What I was expecting with the price paid The cleanliness of the place was overall pretty well, but there was stains on our bedsheets. They did them as asked, which was nice and they did come and clean the room, which was really nice.
