Awesome place for chilling. Went there with my church family. Board games and hot springs and food(some) are provided. The only problem is no wifi but that's why we choose here :p

The rooms have a very "rustic" feel to them but the staff are welcoming and friendly. The best part is all the nature and hiking.

The pool, hot tub and sauna are great. Staff has a pretty remarkable knowledge deficit which made a few things quite frustrating. The lounge has some neat carvings and rustic furniture.
