That our large party could all stay together. That we had our own spa.
Nothing. This is our second visit/stay

The location was perfect and so were the mountain views from our room! It was spotlessly clean and had everything we could want for our 2 night stay. Very peaceful.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2026
Very conformable bed and nice and quiet location
Sadly we were put in a ground floor cabin so this didn’t match the deluxe cabin from the photos (especially the bathroom, I wouldn’t have expected a shower curtain in high end accommodation) which was very disappointing. At nearly $600 per night I don’t believe it was great value for money and would’ve expected breakfast included
