The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy and Comfortable

I recently stayed in a studio cabin that was storybook cozy, complete with all the amenities needed for a week's stay, including a beautiful view. The gas stove added a flickering glow at night, making our evenings good.
