AMAZING location! We walked to the shopping and Sloan Lake for sunrise each day. Very clean, lots of large towels, great communication. The 4 stars are only because of the old smoke smell - which seemed to wake us up dry in the morning. Julie has done everything she can, from what I understand, to expel the odor, but it seems to be stuck in the walls - old/historic homes are like that. Otherwise, it was a great stay. We loved the recommendation board and the option to do our laundry. Shower heads are great and lots of hot water for a steaming wash after a long hiking day. Overall - great!
