Great room, good food, friendly staff. Definitely a great place to stay.
I never rented a room, the only thing I didn't like was they never had a good selection of diet pop.
If you know… then you just know. Super friendly with great food. Truckers are welcome and there’s a good pull in/out.
Beauty of a spot! Wonderful people if you’re not a snowflake and can’t handle it. it’s part of the charm! We NEED these places open year round so support them when you can! Truckers are welcome just buy something if you’re using the facilities!
I'll start by saying that over my coast-to-coast drive home, this was my #1 favorite of all stops! They have gas here, a restaurant, and lodging to touch the checklist items. It was the 2nd wknd in May which I later discovered was early in the season for tourists but I was in Luck! They had just finished renovating single rooms that afternoon. Lucky Me! But let's back it up. I dropped my things & had to get some real food in me so I went up to the restaurant for dinner. Since it was early in the season I got to chat w/ and get to know a little of everyone working there that day & connect. Amazing stories to listen to from genuine, good people. I was alone on this trip after a big loss in my family. These folks made me feel at home when I was thousands of miles away. I am sincerely grateful for that. The property was beautiful and of course, has beautiful mountain views. There were several independent cabins spread out & single rooms as well. The room as advertised was newly renovated! Very modern aesthetic w/ that brand new sparkling clean touch! Microwave & mini fridge, in-room controlled heating, good wifi and a great shower! There were even friendly dogs and a cat on the property to give it that extra homey feeling. Oh, did I mention it was a brand new bed & pillow set?! Y'all I didn't even grab my pillow from the truck! So comfy, slept like a baby! Was surprised w/ snow the following morning & in hindsight probably visibly worried. After coffee & breakfast then getting the truck packed, the young guy, who was naturally familiar w/ the area, gave great details of what to watch out for now that there was snow on the roads. Thank You!! That prepared me well & gave me something to focus on/distract me bc this girl does not like driving in the snow! Happy to say, I made it Driving through British Columbia was hands down the most beautiful mountains I have seen so far in my life. I'm determined to make that drive again but at a more leisurely pace. I highly recommend this place if you're driving through. This is a stop you will definitely enjoy!
