Great Hotel! Book a river front room if you can. The view is gorgeous. If you can't no worries, they have a huge patio w/ seating you can hang out on w/ the river view. Just Beautiful.

Great Creekside Hideaway Rustic Cabin - Secluded, Creekside Family Cabin
Amazing cabin. Perfect for a couple or our small family of 4. Would highly recommend if you want quiet and seclusion. Andrews and Murphy are not bad drives to get to. We are already planning to return.
