A gorgeous property in the side of the mountains. I was extremely impressed with how big and beautiful the property is, as well as how many activities they have. There's a creek cutting through the property, and multiple areas of lodging. While it is right below Skyline Drive, it is about an hour to get to the entrance. The hotel provides a handy booklet and binder on information on the property and I love the inclusions about the wildlife in the area.
We weren't impressed with the limited buffet they had during our stay, but as we left and couldn't find anywhere else to go at the base of the mountain, we came back. It was a busy night and they squeezed us in, I believe the local schools were celebrating Prom, so we didn't complain. Our waitress was friendly, but very busy. The rest of the staff that we interacted with wasn't particularly friendly.
Our room was on the furthest back lot and the road really needs a lot of work. Unfortunately one of our tires was ruined leaving, we couldn't dodge multiple pot holes/roots at once. The room was nice, but small. It's really just enough room for a bed and side tables. I loved the aesthetic with the wooden logs on the interior, and appreciated that they provided basic shower necessities in a nice organza bag.
The people in our building were in a fishing trip together, and they were loud, rude, and woke us up around 6am. Not the hotel's fault, but it didn't help our experience. We'll try them again in the future and will update.
