If you like the finer things in life, this place may not be for you. If you like to camp and are up for adventure, this place is great. We stayed two nights with a Groupon deal. We travelled with friends and got the only two cabins that had a king and a double. The only address we could find wasn't really an address, so our GPS couldn't really guide us there. The first time we drove past it, but thought we recognized the cabins high up on the hill as our hotel, we just didn't know how to get to it, so we turned around (which is a little precarious on the main coastal road to Valle) and found a small, steep side road and it was right there. They have signs hung at their entrance. The cabins were neat and clean. Furnishings and space are at a minimum, but it we enjoyed it. The main detractor for both of our cabins was the shower. The water gets piping hot, but half came out as a thick stream against the wall and the other half was a mist. I was, however, able to take a quick shower although no one else in our party chose to do so. The breakfast each morning was coffee, tea, pre-toasted bimbo bread and some jam. It was quit cold in the evenings when we visited (45F) and we would have frozen if not for the massive amounts of blankets already on our bed. As it was, my nose was frozen and I had to sleep with my face under the covers. Internet was available, the signal just wasn't very strong in our cabin. It was fine for the little bit we needed it. The grounds were kept up well and we used the outdoor tables to eat as a large group a couple of times. It is right next to a main road so there is some traffic noise while trying to sleep. Overall, the attendants were knowledgable and friendly, we felt safe and welcome and we very much enjoyed our stay.

“Cool”

Its a very small but nice hotel in the mountains, the street beside is very noisy so it is not that quiet as you could expect. The rooms are super small but if you are only there to sleep I guess its ok.

“A very cold, small shed in the woods”

My wife booked a night here for the two of us and my father late last year, and as a winter weekend away it was just too cold at night. There was no heating or log fire and only thin sheets. the cabin was more like a garden shed, surrounded by another 8 garden sheds. Inside was basic but clean. Jus… more

My wife booked a night here for the two of us and my father late last year, and as a winter weekend away it was just too cold at night. There was no heating or log fire and only thin sheets. the cabin was more like a garden shed, surrounded by another 8 garden sheds. Inside was basic but clean. Just small, cold and no view. However great location and the staff were excellent. The receptionist brought us all coffee before bed and the owner stopped by in the morning to say hello and to bring toast and more coffee.
