Grounds are beautiful. Buildings are taken care off but in need of remodeling as they are aged. Plenty of parking for truck and trailer. Housekeeping is not every other day as stated. It is nonexistent. The app they use for tv is horrible. Glitches frequently, kicking you out of what you are watching. It signs you out and you have to submit a ticket for a tech to come out and enter a password.

Everuthing was wonderful except for the lodge room ajoining room door. Thst door is paper thin and yiu can hear everything yiir neighbor does. We had our TV at 20 volume level and they complained it wa stoo loud I could here her on her phone and the entire conversation. Ask for a room with out an ajpining room door. You will thank me. Also wish they had a little more variety on the breakfast buffet. Maybe add some yogurt or oatmeal. It was Alot of carbs.

The stay was last minute booking and everything was nice. Room was good size for a couple and very clean. The only thing I would say needs to be better is signs/directions as you come into the property or get the property before dark since it is in mountains. It was hard to tell where room was once we found check in area. Overall it was great. Would stay again.
