9/10 Wonderful! (1,498 reviews)
Everything was good except the pool area. They do not have enough lounge chairs and chairs at the pool. The cabana rentals should be done differently. Currently you have to be at the pool by 7 am and wait for two hours until it opens at 9 sm.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,092 reviews)
The property was great. It felt like a decently modern cabin in the woods. The people working there are absolutely amazing. Super friendly and curteous. The location is quite easy to find, it is quite steep up the hill. Every hotel we stay I try to give a review based on 3 things. 1. Hospitality, 2. Premise and experience 3. Above and betodn beyond
I would give it all a 5 star except the going above and and beyond. There was about 2 occasions where I needed little bit of help and both were failed. I needed to borrow a computer mouse for an hour, I had to check in

This was my 2nd stay at this hotel and I have to stay it was better than the first time. I didn’t know that right outside the swimming pool is a hot tub and hidden sitting area to relax near the creek.
The breakfast every morning was spectacular…the staff was very helpful and the room was WAY bigger than I thought it would be. If definitely gonna book another hotel room here in the fall
