Beautiful setting. Beautiful mountains. Nice porch and balcony, both public and private. Clean and well-maintained rooms. Good breakfast at the coffee shop, although Hazels was closed except for weekends. They were very accommodating at the front desk, giving me a room that was functional for me and my disability. We didn’t use it, but it looked like everyone was having fun at the pool, seemed family-friendly.
