The property was good, although nothing special. The room was clean and tidy, with a soft & uncomfortable bed. I would be unlikely to return

As previous reviews mentioned, staff was not friendly. The property needed some upkeep. Area around property poor town. The room was not clean: power in sink. The A/C made a noise while running. The sheets were polyester. The smell of cleaning supplies. Some of these things are personal preference. I was deeply disappointed in the 'wonderful" I was expecting.

The kids loved the huge room, a converted conference room. Perfect for our group of 4 adults and 3 energetic boys. The only down side was, we couldnt get it to warm up past 62 degrees. But we loved everything else and would definitely stay here again.

Room was very clean and spacious. We had a group and reserved a big room with several beds and were thrilled with the space the room had. It had two bathrooms, fireplace and everything we needed, including a full size fridge/freezer. Price was great too! Definitely recommend for big family or large group!!

Nice place. This is an older facility, but our room was clean, and we loved looking out our window and seeing the elk wandering around outside.
