8/10 Good
"The room was clean and spacious. I liked having a couch in the sitting room and a separate bedroom. No A/C but I opened the window and there was a good screen on the window to prevent bugs from coming in. Blue River is very beautiful surrounded by mountains. Very peaceful and quiet. The restaurant was fine. Not a large selection of items, but adequate."
