This place is absolutely immaculate! From the moment we walked in, the cozy vibes and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The space smells amazing, and every detail shows how much care and thought went into making guests feel comfortable. Everyone we met was so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. And the views… oh my goodness! They are breathtaking — like something straight out of a Hallmark movie. I felt so relaxed and refreshed during my stay. I would absolutely come back and stay here again without a second thought. Truly a magical experience! The s’mores by the fire pit is such a fun experience!

Resort was beautiful and room was comfortable. No microwaves in the room, theres just one for all guests to share. Theres a $100 deposit that you get back after you check out. They charged my card for this 3 times and told me it kept declining. Its been 7 business days after checking out and i cant get a straight answer from customer service on whether or not my refund has been issued, and I can't get ahold of a manager.
