Our cabin was better than expected! Having dishes and glasses was unexpected and nice to have. However, the refrigerator/freezer makes a noise when it is running. Also, the alarm clock went off but we didn’t set it. But overall, this was a great place to stay. Thank you

These modern cabins are super nice, and are right downtown within walking distance of the river, a great local cofee shop, and all of the shops and restaurants along with the hot springs. There is a nice covered patio at the property as well as a gas fire pit with chairs in the courtyard between the cabins. Loved our stay here and would definitely stay again.
