Newer, no frills place

If you are looking for a reasonable price and a kitchenette but can forgo having amenities like breakfast, pool, hot tub, lobby, and Elevator this is right for you. It may have been the specific room but it felt like lots of extra space that didn't seem well utilized.

I loved having a kitchenette! This location was convenient for my snowshoe adventures as well. The Maasto Hiihto and Chassel trail systems are an easy drive from here and both excellent venues.
