Did the job, Pros & Cons
Bed in the mountains with the basics. Not much around, so it did the job. Room smelled like people have smoked in it, a little hot, medium sized spider in the bathroom. Double-check they give you the right keys, they gave me the wrong ones then chased me down to correct it. But staff is very friendly, nice atmosphere. Would stay again if I had to pass through the region as there is not much out there.

Very conveniently located on our way through town. Very clean abd staff very friendly and helpful. We came in late at night and they were very accommodating. Stayed in the 2-person room which was very small but we just needed a place to sleep so no problem.

Just the right amount of off the grid, 1.5 hours from cell coverage, but Wifi throughout the property, if needed. Many amazing hot springs close by and short walks from parking areas, and some a good hike to the reward. The Food in the lodge was hearty, well prepared and very tasty. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were all good!

Thin walls
I wasn’t expecting much, but was very disappointed when my room smelled like old cigarettes. The walls were very thin. Which was only a problem in the morning when the neighbor children started screaming with glee early in the morning. Problem, resolved after I started playing my music to show how thin the walls were. Family got the message. I hope your neighbors are equally considerate.

Was very happy to find this place on my recent hot springs road trip. Friendly and helpful staff, nice room at an affordable price, and a delicious grilled cheese from the restaurant. It’s also so convenient that there’s a little store. Would stay again.

Awesome place
I just want to start off saying that the owners and staff are wonderful. We had a little car trouble on the way and the owner let us have a late super late check so we could get the problem sorted. The food was great and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and even with car trouble we had a great time and a great stay. I high recommend staying here.
