My oldest marveled over the beautiful kitchen, and we all had a great time being able to clean our crystals off from Wegner Mine. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9e52d6dc-547c-4b2e-80b5-72834fd2f130-1751735242310.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4d0c4aa9-09b6-4a44-8c9c-b5ad481822b2-1751735244691.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bobbi J.

The location is nice and close to Mt Ida, but far enough out of town to be super quiet and peaceful. The beds were both very comfortable and the rooms both had plenty of space to settle into. The chest of drawers in both rooms were both more than enough for our clothes as well and didn't even needs the closet. The bathrooms were well done, had solid water pressure and had enough space. The kitchen was nice, had plenty of counter space and covered everything we needed for our stay. The living room was very comfortable, I loved those recliners!We really enjoyed the outdoor space as well. There was a good table and 4 chairs for playing games and having a few drinks on the porch. We didn't use the BBQ grill, but it looked like a solid option as well. The crystal washing table was a nice touch as we picked up a few on our hikes. Also, if you're into stargazing or astrophotography, the night sky here is fantastic. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. It's a beautiful space that felt very warm and inviting. We'll definitely book this one again on our next trip to the area. ##### Nik T.
