romantic getaway with mountain views

warm welcome family room mountain view
I adored the energetic staff. They welcomed us so warmly. we received complimentary drinks upon arrival, a sweet and unexpected treat. the mountain view from our superior family room was magnificent, a constant source of wonder each morning, the view was so very nice.
The bathroom felt a bit cramped. The space was smaller than expected. the layout was awkward, it wasn't ideal and was a challenge , i wish the layout was better.
