10/10 Excellent
"Such an amazing place!! I can't think of a better jumping off point for the collegiate hiking area. The site is super cool.. great rec room. Very close to town but also far enough out to be peaceful. Night sky view was amazing. I was worried since I would be coming late / after dark but they left detailed instructions and everything was great. I'll definitely return and would highly recommend it!"

"The room was good, clean and quiet. When I checked in after midnight, the staff was helpful and made sure I had everything I needed. They even offered to be available by phone for a 10 minutes if anything came up or if I needed anything, which felt reassuring. Overall, a decent, budget friendly stay for a quick overnight stop."
