Great location for hikes and all that the national parks have to offer. Especially loved the cabin atmosphere with board games and activities. Rooms were clean, but fairly loud noise from gas pipe made it difficult to sleep.

The location is great for visiting the National Park. There is a local restaurant you can walk to. The food is not the best but it’s great you can walk to it. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. The Bed might need to be replaced soon in the room we stayed because it was really uncomfortable.
