Remote location but close enough to all the local attractions , quaint, well kept perfect for a couples retreat.
Lodging was great along with the atmosphere!
Received a text from Laurel Valley that were offering a breakfast in the morning, nice suprise!
Will be going back in the future!
Beautiful place, absolutely loved it - the breakfast was AMAZING and the host was just as AMAZING. Will Definitely come back - the beds in this retreat I felt like i was sleeping on top of a cloud and the sheets smelled soo clean and fresh - THANK YOU
Beautiful and clean room, VERY cozy, peaceful and just a gorgeous property! This is the best vacation my husband and I have had in a very long time!
Bedding felt luxurious and the bathroom in the presidential suite was absolutely beautiful and again very luxurious. It was a 5 minute drive to our holiday party at dancing bear lodge, the property was isolated enough to feel like you were in the mountains but also close enough to do all sorts of things! We will definitely be back!!
Laurel Valley was an amazing place to stay. The lodge was beautiful, the room was spacious and lovely, the location was perfect with an awesome view of the mountains
We just loved this stay. What a magical place ticked up in the woods. Fed the large koi from our balcony. Super clean, all the modern amenities in a log cabin.
Our stay was wonderful. It was our anniversary trip. We were looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay and this place was the perfect spot. It was really close and convenient to everything and the rustic theme was very cozy and the view of the mountains was beautiful. Very easy check in process and staff was very friendly. The room was very spacious and clean.
Excellent property! Great Location! Awesome value! Beautiful property with beautiful views! Would definitely stay again! This place exceeded my expectations!!!
