The staff were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We had a smooth check in and felt very comfortable in our room. Everything was very clean and comfortable. During our stay they had about 14 in of snow fall which made all the mountains even more dramatic and beautiful. The nearby restaurants were great and walkable. We would love to stay again when we return ro New Zealand. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The absolute highlight of this property is its unbeatable proximity to the best hiking spots in the area. We were able to spend less time driving and more time on the trails. Within a short drive, we accessed [You can insert the name of a specific famous trail or area here, e.g., 'the entrance to the Red Rock Canyon trail'] and several other fantastic lookout points. For anyone prioritizing outdoor adventure and maximizing trail time, the location is simply ideal. It’s not just close to nature, but also conveniently near the main living areas/town, making grocery runs and dinner easy.
