“This hotel strikes me as a restful base for exploring the wild beauty of the West Coast; its lakeside setting offers a genuine escape. I particularly like the commitment to local produce in the restaurant, and the option of unwinding in a wood-fired hot tub under the stars. It seems a solid choice for families or anyone seeking a nature-focused getaway.”
