Very cute little chalet. Everything felt well maintained and clean upon arrival. The property was quiet and felt private. Loved that there was a fire pit right outside of our chalet. Communication with the owners and check in/out was super easy. Would love to stay there again

Stayed one night due to passing through the area. The bedrooms are tight with 2 beds in each. Good place to stay for a couple of days to tour the area. The Spruce will sleep 6 people comfortable. Would stay again for the value.
