“The somewhat challenging drive is rewarded by the tranquility of this mountain lodge, with spacious boardwalk rooms offering superb views. Excellent food and a notable wine list are complemented by attentive service; it's a place where relaxation comes easily. I suggest booking a valley-facing unit, if you can.”
