The place was far bigger, and newer than we expected and it was a lovely, relaxing place to retreat to after Glacier National Park. The kitchen was well stocked, and everything we needed was there. This place was fantastic, and a great value.

Very spacious with grand views of the mountains surrounding the town. Great service from the one employee we spoke with. Slightly odd that you don't meet with anyone upon check in, but it worked nonetheless.
