Location, easy check in, quiet in shoulder season
Bad septic system smell on front deck was first experience of cabin, musty but ok once inside

Scenery
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2026
Gorgeous location (Mountain View’s are dependent on weather- we had the morning view but clouds settled in by the time we returned later in the day) just a couple minutes drive from the main township.
Room was lovely and clean
Our car spot is meant to fit 2 cars, but realistically only fits 1 mid size SUV (thankfully our cabin neighbours parked to where neither of us were inconvenienced)
Door handle to the sliding bathroom door has been jammed into the wall cavity and was bent (doesn’t impact door’s use but I did have to manhandle the door out of its cavity)

Location was 5-10min away from the city center
You have to be proactive if you want your room to be serviced.
