Mountain views from every room
All five room types face the mountains, and each one has a private patio. It's a practical setup — you can have a morning coffee outside before heading out, regardless of which room category you book.
Outdoor spaces for guests
The grounds include a garden, picnic area, outdoor furniture, and a BBQ area with an outdoor dining space. These work well for groups or families who want to eat outside rather than head into town for every meal.
Pet-friendly throughout
Pets are welcome at the property. For travellers driving through New York with animals, that's often the deciding factor, and the outdoor spaces give pets room to move around.
In-room kitchen setup
