This place is gorgeous. Rustic lodge look. Beautiful fireplaces inside and out. Rooms were spacious and nice. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is our toilet kept running and you had to fiddle with the tank each time. But staff were very responsive when we first said something. Other than that, I was impressed! I will definitely stay here again!
