This was an outstanding place to stay. The staff was so nice and very helpful when we had questions. Dinner at the bar was expensive, but well worth it. Danielle was an amazing bartender! Ashley at the front desk was great. We highly recommend and will definitely return.

Disliked: Amenities
The place and view is nice. I recommend to add another firepit and more things to do. Too limited dining and breakfast options. Also, the time when the food areas are open, is very limited. Also, the parking was extremely crowded. We had to park on the grass very far.

The room was fairly clean and had just about everything you could need for a short stay. The floors needed to be swept, but we weren’t there long enough to let it bother us. Our building had games in the common area and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. It is also a short hike or shorter drive from a lake, park, and waterfall. There’s also lots to do near Helen. Overall, I would stay here again.
