10/10 Excellent
"Our cabin was very clean and orderly. The staff was by far the best part of the whole stay. The fire pit was stocked and kept going by Charles. A small group of us sat by the fire and enjoyed the evening. It was one of the best stays we have had on the road that we can ever remember. We stayed for the location but will come back for the peace and quiet the property offers. The Cafe was a pleasant surprise for breakfast. The building itself large and beautiful. The food, however was even better. Reasonable pricing and exceedingly large portions. Just a really fantastic stay!"
