Beautiful & peaceful setting on the very top of the mountain with spectacular views! Lovely breakfasts each morning on a terrace with that spectacular view. Quiet & relaxing, with easy access to Highlands for lunches, dinners, & shopping. Several waterfalls in the area are worth visiting. Owner was very accommodating & made sure we had everything we needed. We were even upgraded to a better room at no charge because it was our 50th wedding anniversary! Mountain slide & winery close by.

We had a wonderful time here, the GM was so helpful and easing our concerns with highway 106 was closed, she really made us feel comfortable and excited about our stay. Check in was super easy we met Tom who was very friendly and gave us a quick tour. The grounds are beautiful, with horses and a waterfall you can walk to. It really feels like you are staying above the trees. Breakfast was delicious, we spent evenings in the library and the sun rise and sunsets were special to see.
