Cute little mountain gem

I loved this hotel. We stayed in the off season so the restaurant was not open. However, staff were very friendly and gave recommendations. The beds were so soft. Room was cleaned everyday which I liked because we brought dirt in our shoes from the hikes. The hot tub was nice, we used it most nights. Wished it could have been a bit hotter but it was cold outside. The kids like the play area in the back. We would stay here again.

I ordered dinner and the restaurant wasn’t open, so I was still charged. You should make sure your website doesn’t allow people to order when the restaurant isn’t open. Hot tub is GROSS and needs service badly. Temperature definitely is not as warm as it says, either.
