The room was so clean and cozy. I loved the grassy area out back and the fire pit that we definitely would've used if we'd had more time. I also appreciates the touches of the tea, hot chocolate, marshmallows, coffee and water bottles. If we come back through, we'll definitely stay here!

We stayed in the Big Horn room. It was very clean the shower pressure was great. There are two beds in the room. It would be great for a family with small children. We were not able to take advantage of the fire pit area because of the weather but would have weather permitting. The location is great not far from Helen and hiking areas. Would definitely stay there again.
