Very, very noisy! Says it’s an Inn but there were no common areas - the facility did not even have a lobby area.

Hotel had great views of the creak Unfortunately there are no blinds on the balcolny doors so anyone can see in. In the morning we saw a few men outside fly fishing so it was very easy for anyone to walk up and watch into your room. Parking lot was also very small and was a one way. You have to drive up to check in than very carefully back up in a confined space to get to your parking spot.

We liked the room itself and the balcony was definitely our favorite. The staff was great and attentive. The only critique I could give is about the a/c unit. It was very loud and for a property being recently remolded, I don't understand why a luxury property still has window units.

Employees were great, especially Kayleee. Food was excellent. We would stay again for sure. Only suggestion- We arrived early and sat in parking lot for a while because they didn’t open until around 3 and didn’t have a traditional front desk. View of stream from our balcony, cutting edge mountain lodge decor, and very helpful staff were all great.

Beautiful property, very clean both inside the room and outside. The staff were friendly and helpful. The a/c unit didn’t perform as expected. The room temperature was not ideal but tolerable. I Spoke with Maitre D the following morning about the a/c, she apologized and said she would have the unit checked. We only stayed one night, so I am unsure of the outcome. Despite the circumstances with the a/c, we would recommend staying at the hotel.

good stay
Room was clean and homey. Staff was very pleasant. Room had a small fridge and a safe to secure your money. Great shower. However, Lighting in the room is limited,no place to put your cloths i.e. closet or drawers, etc. Never saw a front office but staff was in the parking lot to assist. Very good for short stay.
