Beautifully enjoyable and rustic
The area was beautiful, the amenities great and the cabin was very nice.
There were a couple of things that made the stay less comfortable than it should have been.
1. There was not kleenex nor paper towels and the toilet paper was so thin it basically fell apart as you pulled it off the roll. It made any kind of wiping (either of body parts or of cleaning) hard to do. We did not want to use the towels/hand towels for those things - and did not have the number of towels we would have needed to do that anyway.
2. There were no top sheets on the beds, only a spread. There was one top sheet in the closet, but our son was with us, so we needed two.
All in all it was a good place to stay and the area was great! Being from the US, we probably won't visit again because we like to experience different cultures and countries each time we vacation.

This beautiful location is a must!
Absolutely stunning property in the middle of the forest! This location is a must. You are surrounded by nature and all you hear day and night is the rushing of the river. Every single staff member there was very friendly and helpful. Cabins are spacious and include a kitchenette in them. Day activities were easy to schedule. Ziplining was fantastic here, highly recommended!

If I had been paying less I would have given higher rating. But for the price I paid over New Years, it was not the best value. Cabins have tin roofs that are very loud when it rains, and without a solid structure and no windows, you can hear every sound from cabins next door.
Still was charming and staff was very friendly.

C'est très nature ce qui est très plaisant, plusieurs activités sur place. Par contre pas très propre et si il pleut durant la nuit, le toit en tôle se transformera en tambour, nuit blanche assuré...
Mais le cachet de l'endroit fait son effet.
