This hotel is located in a beautiful town in the mountains with an elevation of about 3500. The place is operated by a very nice couple. I stayed here with my wife and one of our sons. We really enjoyed the stay. There is a BBQ restaurant just across the street from the hotel. We had dinner there and loved it as well.

We we treated like royalty during our entire stay! Hot tea and crackers before bed and the odd surprise glass of wine! Amiable, kind, considerate and an excellent cook are words we have for Sonia and her staff.
