This was the most adorable hotel. Highly recommend! We had a little Swedish-style cabin with carefully curated design details, comfy bed, beautifully decked-out kitchen. And we had a delicious home-made meal at their restaurant. Lovely staff. All around perfect.

We had a great stay, the beds and bedding were lovely. The only thing the kitchen was missing was a toaster but other wise was well appointed. Would recommend booking your sauna appointment when you check in as we did have a hard time finding availability. The staff were helpful and fit us in the morning we left amd let us do a noon che k out. Will def be back if we can snag th r same great rate!

Our little cabin ‘Foxtail’ was perfect! This was a last minute getaway to a place we have always wanted to visit! We had the most wonderful experience! The cabin albeit small, had everything you could need and more! The bed was comfy, the room was warm and peaceful, there was a full kitchen w/ stove, mini fridge and sink! The bathroom was tiny but just right and the shower was nice and hot! We walked around the small resort grounds and found many little gathering areas some with beautiful fire pits surrounded by Adirondack chairs! We had a delicious drink at their bar as well as a chicken pot pie and Bavarian pretzel from the restaurant all within steps of our cottage! We can’t wait to go back!
