"Rustic with updated touches. Very clean and quiet. We had a view of the forest behind and birch trees starting to color in front. The kitchen was spotless and appliances fine. The complimentary ground coffee was really good. There are some food options, and others close by. We were going to Grover hot springs for a dip, and came to stay here for the first time.
