Pros
Spectacular mountain views from Hilltop and Ridgecrest Lodge rooms.
Friendly, attentive staff who often go above and beyond for guests.
Free WiFi and free parking included for all guests.
“The farm setting offers a peaceful escape, and the staff's welcoming demeanor truly cultivates a sense of family. While the rustic rooms are clean and comfortable, and the views are consistently lauded, it's the pervasive homely atmosphere that defines the stay. The on-site restaurant serves commendable food, though a slightly broader vegetarian selection would be welcome.”
