"Thankful beyond measure for this experience. Way more than just a place to stay. The mountain, moon, water, and sunrise view from any room on the front. Beautiful crackle and smell from the warm fire. Got inspired to do new creative things in this beautiful escape with even more beautiful people and laughs. Can't wait 'til next time. Thank you!"
