To safeguard their cleanliness, they restrict footwear inside and also tea coffee, etc in the room. That becomes a bit inconvenient. A water kettle and a microwave in the room would be helpful. Staff was excellent and helped us a lot.

It’s a bed and breakfast, but breakfast cost extra? We didn’t have breakfast there, but someone use our room or my name for breakfast. Staff was nice, but most amenities will cost extras. Very nice view and cute shared area and patio. Very strong sulfur smell in shower. Still like this place a lot, it was a really cute idea hotel/bed and breakfast place to stay.

Wow. Absolutely excellent hotel. We stayed in one of the private cabins. It was clean and beautiful and had everything you could need. Bed was comfortable and great views of surrounding area. Food at main hotel was delicious. Had dinner and breakfast. Recommend both. Staff exceptional. Great stop on our trip. Highly recommend!
