Wonderful, enjoyable experience!

I enjoyed the friendliness of the staff the most. We arrived starving and had just missed the 2 closing of the restaurant until dinner. Spent a relaxing time in the bar watching sports, Olympic updates and eating chips and BBQ chicken appetizers. Jan, our waitress, was so much fun and clued us in on everything in the area. We felt immediately at home here because of her.
We had a handicapped room and it worked out great. The view from our room was the pool, and the patio was nice to be able to sit out on.
The sleep number beds were fun, we each had our own bed, and we giggled as we tried different firmness levels. The bathroom was very accomodating for handicapped. It came with a wheel in shower and a plastic bench/chair to sit on. I always like heat lamps so I utilized this.
I would have loved to have stayed longer, but we only had one night here.
We went to the Sunset Dinner special which is between 5-7 pm and includes a salad or soup, a main type course, chefs dessert, and sodas.
My husband had the shrimp in angel hair pasta and really enjoyed this.
I had the flank steak with carmelized veggies on wedges of toasted special bread. It was unbelievably delicious, although we were still stuffed from the afternoon appetizers. The dessert was chocolate bread pudding which we took to go and was our food for the trip home to California. It was spectacularly scrumptious. I would totally recommend this "tucked out of the way" resort to anyone.
It was very peaceful. The kindness of the staff was beyond description.
The famous chapel in the mountains is just up the road and this is something you should not miss. (Just be sure you see it before it is all closed up at 6 p.m.!) We were on our way to Phoenix and the hotel is right on the way so this was also very convenient!
