This is a lovely property. The layout of the cabins is allows for privacy and at the same time sense of community. The cabins are well appointed and comfortable. The staff is pleasant and very helpful. The location is ideal for participating in outdoor activities, or just lounging around enjoying nature. Beware that many of the cabins are a fair distance from the available parking. My only quibble is the mandatory $35.00 dollar " Resort Fee" I would far prefer that the rack rate be the actual price, without sneaky add on fees. Frankly I find this practice deceitful. That being said, we loved the place and we will certainly return.

Fabulous mini Getaway!
We were just having a birthday getaway and wow! I have driven past this gem several times. Quick trip from NV and it was worth it. Quiet, quaint, and relaxing! Dont forget to use the Sauna when you are there. I was able to grab a pretty tasty breakfast of oats and fritatta. Coffee was strong and delicious too. Staff was very kind, mellow and upbeat! We stayed in the Waterfir room. It was just a cozy and calming atmosphere!
