For those "seeking R&R", this "somewhat out of the way" "family-style" resort offers "beautiful mountain scenery" and a "professional" staff that creates a "peaceful" vibe; there are also plenty of on-site distractions like tennis, swimming pools, a spa and glassmaking classes, along with rooms that are "spacious" and "comfortable" (but do "need attention to details"); the "only drawback" is the restaurant's "expensive" but "just-ok" food.

Very nice made my wife really enjoy her mothers day, I didn't really like being hit with a fee for tips and phone fees and other costs that I didn't incur. Kids loved the pool, I'm disabled and had to walk too far and was told to use a cart I had to be accompanied by an employee. But I would come back ...read more

Great staff and location.
Parking distance from room was a bit far.

Outdoor setting was beautiful!
Only valet parking, had to carry shopping packages long was.

Thought that it would be nicer inside. Cleaning people were of no assistance, could not speak English.
