The room, I think it was an executive suite, was very comfortable and quiet. We loved that it looked into some forest so it felt very private. We ate meals on the deck. The kitchenette had all the basic tools we needed. The fireplace was extra cozy and warmed the room quickly. The jetted tub was so relaxing after a day of hiking! Overall, we loved it and would recommend and stay again.

Very close to shops and attractions. Easy parking. Lovely glass indoor patio gave a feel of being close to nature. Upstairs blinds were not very good at blocking out light for sleeping in Summer. Be aware if travelling with young children their bedroom is downstairs and master is a loft upstairs. Toilet access downstairs. Lovely area to stay in.

This was a lovely place to stay. Really appreciated the fireplace being on when we arrived. The room was well laid out and very clean. Only complaint was the scaffolding around the place (was not noisy though).

The only negative was the heat was still ON when it was already hot and stuffy outside. No AC so we didn’t have the greatest sleep. Otherwise a very nice place to stay for the night. Right next to a TON of activities.

Only issue was our neighbors were chain smokers! You should have seen the bottle of butts. We couldn’t open our patio door very often. We ask the then to please smoke somewhere else. They were rude! Not from NX
