We loved the view and the peace and quiet. Yiu can tell they took care of details. Quality toilet paper and other necessities were stocked. Because of state fire advisory we couldn't use the fire pit so that's for next time. 30 minutes to Franklin and 45 to Highlands. It a drive off-road but not a problem. If you want quiet and views it's worth it. We will be back.
