Generous for the price, friendly...

Liked: This was my second time here and I brought a friend. We both had different rooms, 7 and 9. Again, I was super happy. I love it here and it's close to everything and the price literally cannot be beat. So, to address some other reviewers (because I almost didn't stay first time due to some reviews). Yes, the bedrooms don't have alternative seating unless you have a kitchen or deck, you just have the bed. No, the cabin isn't new and fancy but it's cozy and motel like. It's the experience of being in the woods. There is zero chance you will get your own little cabin, walking distance to town, for under $100. So, stay here! They are super nice. If you're a very picky or a posh person, then pay $250-400 a night for a cabin and stop complaining. This is a mountain town. Doors don't line up, the paints not new and there are going to be bugs now and again. Yes, it snows, deal with the parking or stay home. There are a ton of parking spots when not snowing . The beds are super comfy and if you book a king room, the beds are massive! 10 stars. It has all you need, if you're not a twerp.
Disliked: Nothing

Amazing

Liked: Everything, they were super nice. I stayed in room 7, but I saw room 8. Both were really great. I don't know why there are complaints. There was AC, heat, a kitchen, all the stuff you need to cook and coffee stuff. There was a table to eat. A view, everything. I'm already back for a second stay.
Disliked: N/a
