The location was by far the most unique experience we’ve ever had!! And that is what makes it so special. Truly ‘out in nowhere’ and super relaxing! The hot tub felt great after a full day of exploring! Loved it and definitely recommend using it. Everyone we came in contact with were exceedingly kind, helpful and accommodating. It’s a one of a kind type of hotel experience!! Go & enjoy!!
