Great place to stay. Has just the bare necessities, but everything you need. Very close to hot springs. You will have to deal with the sulphur smell, but that’s pretty much the whole town.

The Drift: Where Chill Meets Charm

The Drift is the kind of place that makes you want to stay awhile. Its vibe is laid-back yet stylish, and even though the staff works offsite, the owner’s father personally stopped by to check in on guests—a thoughtful touch that made the experience feel warm and welcoming. The Drift strikes that perfect balance of comfort and cool.
