Extremely kind & helpful staff, whether in the restaurant or housekeeping or front desk. The beds are comfy and the shower is great! (Though short to conserve water). It's nothing fancy, it's clean, convenient and charming and the whole area is spectacular. I hope to return again.
Mountain View lives up to its name!
Friendly critters
Many spots to pull over and look.
