Really nice and clean place. Friendly staff. The hotel is located only 5 minutes to town.

The owners were so great. My travel plans needed to change in response to the covid-19 crisis. I really appreciate how the owner kept me informed and offered to help me figure out what to do next. Really above and beyond!

Clean, friendly staff and fairly close to town which meant convenience but no noise.

Meticulously clean and comfortable. Easy access. Friendly staff.

A little out of the town but easy to drive the 3km in. Very simple, modern cabins that had all we needed and were warm and comfortable.
