Mountain Valley Inn Dillard
Two issues: Exterior of the property could use a clean-up; the exterior is littered with junk and debris. And, I don’t understand why the front desk took a photograph of my driver’s license when I had paid in advance via Expedia. Nevertheless the room itself was clean, quiet and comfortable.

Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy
It was quiet and peaceful there. Front desk personnel (saw in the evening’s) were always friendly to tell of what events were happening. Beds were horrible though. No chairs in the room. Very small space.
