Very pleasant place and area with kitchenettes, fireplace, and gas grill.
We had a lovely stay, the room was clean very nicely decorated and stocked. Bathroom is beautiful
Great location, seamless check in.
Would recommend to anyone, and if you have kids the bunk beds will be a highlight for them
We loved our stay at the drift! The cabin was clean spacious and I love that you’re not sharing a wall with anyone. The location is perfect walking distance to downtown and the hot springs. Being alongside the river was so nice too! Highly recommend!
Doesn’t get any better. The builders did an amazing job! Did not cut any corners and this place is designed very well. I would stay here anytime. I have stayed in many places much more expensive that are not nearly as nice as this. Very well thought out.
The whole vibe was amazing about this place i recommend 100% If u got kids the rooms have a cool little bunk bed area. The beds both for adults and the kids are comfortable. We loved this rental 🙌
The room is impeccable! The surroundings are fantastic. Easy to walk to the hot springs, and some stores downtown. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
