Location is great and the king/bunk bed combo room is perfect for traveling with kids. Easy walk down the path to the river, hot springs, and dining options. Only complaint is that the cleaning supplies they use are strong and the linens gave our skin a reaction. Thereā€™s a strong chemical smell when you first open the door. Other then that, itā€™s a great cabin concept with picnic tables and firepit area.
