This resort is a solid option for those looking to escape for a bit, especially if you appreciate the rustic charm of cabin life. While our room was clean and comfortable with a cozy feel, it did show signs of needing some updates. Though the overall experience was enjoyable with beautiful surroundings and a great community atmosphere, the dining options lack variety and some amenities are definitely aging.
