How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

This place is GORGEOUS! One lap around the cement is about .7 miles give or take and the walk is gorgeous. ONLY FLAW! Is there is no bathroom but besides that it seems like a great place to take the family, take in views and get some exercise. This park is a great relatively hidden gem. Went here on a whim and I was not disappointed

Playground review: Pros: Close parking, toilet area, trash cans, away from any main road, sitting area, swings, small kids area, big kid area, paved walking area, bike tie ups, nature based play. This park is great for climbers, nature play based and free play, kids who like sand, and children who like to climb high. Cons: may be difficult for young children under two. May be too nature based for sensitive children. Limited seating that is in the shade.

This is a beautiful park. It sits high so you can see the surrounding area. Great for family pictures and sledding. There is a playground.
