8/10 Good
"Over all everything was great! My only complaint would be there was not enough pots and pans for what we had planned to cook so we had to adapt a little bit. We would definitely stay here again though and just bring what we need for our meals. The view was incredible and it was so nice to be able to step out at night and see the Milky Way and a sky full of stars."
