Smoothly
Was able to check-in late and check out early easily. Owners made it very smooth. The furnace was extremely loud though. Unfortunately im a very light sleeper so only slept a clp hours.
Everything was wonderful! The room was new and decorated and a modern rustic style. Everything was well thought out with the room design, although not large was very efficient and comfortable. We had an exceptional view from the deck of chimney rock and the river below. We left behind a few items and the manager Linda called twice to make sure we knew and offered to send our items to our home address. The location was fantastic at the end of the restaurant s and shops . It was quiet and peaceful there. We would definitely return whenever we are back in that area. Great job, Linda!
