"We loved the Raven’s Nest Chalet! Very clean, kitchen very well stocked, laundry is great to have and hot tub is a great added bonus. The only thing we would suggest is it would be nice to have some lights that come on around the property at night time as it’s pitch black up a gravel road and lots of trees. Definitely would stay here again."
