Very quiet and clean. Rex, our host was helpful but unobtrusive. Make sure you buy some food and take it in with you as only breakfast is provided. Lots of breakfast choices and the dining area was very nice. We would definitely visit again

If you are looking for peace and quiet and a place that is out of the way, this is the place. It is older and bit rusty, but this adds to it's charm. I highly recommend staying there.

Hotels.com info sucks again
Once again hotels.com has false information. This was a hostel. You share a bathroom with 4 rooms. 1 toilet, 1 shower. Had I known this, I would not have booked. Other than that the place was cute and clean.

This was a small lodge off the highway. Everything was pretty much self serve no host interaction unless you request it. We met a very nice couple in the main dining room/great room and we exchanged tips on our travels. That was our social interactions for the night. Slept comfortably for a night stay.

Amazing property. At first when you enter into the woods, it seems a little strange. But when you get to the property and get into your room, it is extremely clean and cozy. There's a deck that overlooks the mountains and it is extremely peaceful. We sat there in the morning before heading out, and it was the perfect way to start the day with nature.
