“It was a great location. Very near to the hot spring, took us probably 10mins of walking maybe more with kids :) we stayed for two nights. Big ensuite, I love how the windows got screen to prevent bugs from coming in. Love the view. My 4 four year old daughter wants to go back and will def book here again. And also love the playground which is very accessible to our cabin.”
