Our family had a good time for my 54th birthday weekend. Real close to Boreal and Soda Springs. The place was clean and equipped with everything we needed to cook for breakfast and dinner. And the heater in the bathroom was perfect for keeping the chill off after our showers. Loved the place. Thank you.
