Chris, the manager, went way out of his way to help and make sure that his guests feel like kings and queens. The rest of the staff, especially Rachel were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful mountain views, loved the attention to detail in some basic items left in the property that came in handy without me having to run to the store because it was forgotten.
