10/10 Excellent

We only were able to stay one night, but wished we could have been there longer. This is a very cozy and well maintained lodging. The scenery was beautiful and deserves more time to discover. The wooden furnishings made it like a back woods cabin. The wrap around window design of the restaurant allowed for a great view of the countryside and the numerous bird feeders just outside brought a plethora of bird life to observe. Staff were courteous and always had a smile.
