An Unforgettable Experience
“Love this hotel. It's special for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors in addition to the indoor facilities such as game room, spa, restaurant, pool, gym, etc. It has trails on the back of the property next to the Salmon River with beautiful scenery. There are several bocce courts and other games outdoors as well as a fire pit to sit next to. The hotel will provide all that's necessary to make s'mores. Comfy bed, very nice everything.”
“Wonderful location, wonderful food, wonderful staff!”
“Excellent rooms, top tier cleaning is done everywhere throughout the building. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Best hotel experience ever.”
