There was no breakfast available. The location is definitely isolated. The suites 7-10 are across the road from everything else, seems kinda strange.

Stay here!
Simple check in amd out. Absolutely beautiful accommodation. Came for a night for a wedding, going to come back for a true stay!
The cabin was very lovely, clean and comfy. Liked the gas fireplace. The outdoor area was very nice . Liked the fire pit and being right at the Pine creek. My husband enjoyed the fishing. We also enjoyed the sauna and hot tub We appreciate that the place is dog friendly.
The highway traffic noise but there's not much you can do about that.
