Check in wasn't as friendly of an experience as I would have hoped. I'm in the middle of nowhere and have never stayed there before. I kind of felt like I was wasting their time a bit, but the restaurant staff were amazing! Other than that, we absolutely loved the stay and will book again if down this way.

Units a bit tired, no WiFi in units, price ok if have full occupancy but expensive relative to other options if only two people. Cafe prices on high side relative to service / quality but this is a remote area with few alternatives nearby. Staff pleasant.

Only complaint with our stay is the booking includes breakfast at 8am, but staff does not show up until at least 8:30am. After waiting to go in for breakfast, we were told they do not serve breakfast. This was inconvenient for our early morning hike and put us behind schedule
