5/5 Excellent

A dark sky above, warmth within

"Very nice place to stay. Bed is super comfortable, heater kept the place nice and warm when below freezing outside. Big tv with Netflix, very nice and heated bathroom with great stand up shower. Is about a 15 minute hike into town, but goes by fast as you find yourself staring at the mountains encompassing the town. Kitchen area had tools and utensils for two, ate most of our meals in house. More apart hotel, hotel communication prior to arrival through this app was ok, with a direct email day of departure they were incredibly responsive, fast and helpful. We are extremely appreciative of the team for helping us out."
