We arrived at 2pm with a pre-check through Expedia but our room was not ready until shortly after 5pm. We also asked for a downstairs unit and we were upstairs. Not happy with the checkin experience however our room was clean and it was quiet and we enjoyed our stay. Hopefully our next check in experience will be better.

My husband, dog and i arrived an hour earlier than the checking time, and our room was ready for us to get the key. Beautiful weather. The surroundings were very peaceful and enjoyable. Had some questions about the fireplace under the gazebo, and we asked one of the grounds keepers for the info, and he was very helpful and had a great attitude. We were sad to leave. We will definitely going back.

We loved everything about our stay. The only complaint is the noise from our neighboring cabin. We could literally hear them walking around like they were in our cabin and when they shut their door the whole place rattled. But we will definitely be back!

Property and place is beautiful, and the on site restaurant The Peak is AMAZING!!! Negatives for my review: The thermostat was on the fritz !!! It was freezing in our room and when we finally got it to turn the heater on it then wouldn’t turn off and it turned our room into a sauna. We checked out early and just got on the road.

Absolute stunner of a find. I thought I was checking into a hotel and it was a full on resort with so many options. Pool, sports areas, meditation walk, cafe, church, restaurant, extras to purchase at the lobby—and I didn’t get a room but to my surprise a full on cabin with front deck and pet friendly. I told EVERYONE I knew about what a jaw dropping find this was. I can’t wait to return. Seems they often book groups, retreats, and weddings with entire areas dedicated to lodging larger parties. Absolutely awesome. You can drive to town, or I did walk there (the uphill return is exercise haha)

The room was awesome and very clean, I love the grounds especially at night with all the lights and enjoyed the fire pit and my patio off my cabin/room. The only thing I will say is that I couldn't get a late check out when I checked in and had to wait to call the day I checked out. I think you should be able to request a late check out if your not sold out or booked for that room which turned out fine and I got the late check out but other than that I had the best time and loved my stay at your facility, it truely was magical. My Neice Desirae got married on Sat and it was so beautiful.
