Acceptable Stay, Notable Issues

dirty windows excessive dust

The location was convenient for exploring the surrounding trails.

The windows in my room were dirty obstructing the views of the Three Sisters mountains. I reported this to the manager and someone came to clean them immediately. The dust on the bathroom barn door rollers was excessive too. This should have been addressed before my arrival.
