This place is a hidden gem! Rooms are clean and close to all nature has to offer! Owner is very friendly and staff is great!!! We can't wait to come back with some friends!! Pizza was delicious! Definitely recommend staying here! The 2 bedroom suite was amazing!
My wife and I celebrated my birthday yesterday. Deb was very friendly with our reservation and Erin was a pleasant waitress. We both had the Delmonico steak dinner. Delicious with peanut butter pie for dessert. We shall return.
Great atmosphere in the middle of nowhere w abundant trails and Pine Creek waterway near by. Only complaint would be that the beds are so uncomfortable. We started taking our own "topper" when we stay & that fixed the problem.
Amazing from the moment we walked in! Everyone greeted us right away, answered all our questions, and made us feel truly welcome. The place is beautiful, clean, and has such a cozy atmosphere. The food was outstanding, and even my kids felt greeted and included, which means a lot as a mom. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back! Hopefully sooner than later this was a nice escape from gen pop.
We found ourselves in a predicament late in a Sunday night and in need of a room for 3 adults and 2 dogs. Happened to be sitting in the parking lot at just the right time when Ron had gotten dropped off. He and his lady Lori or Laura were so incredibly helpful. They made phone calls for us and dropped everything they were doing to help us get settled. Dog beds, snacks and of course clean sheets and blankets. I couldn’t be more thankful as we were 3 hours from home, late at night and raining. These guys are keepers and I hope this review gets passed along to them. They are dog friendly in the restaurant also so you can eat inside at the restaurant WITH your leashed dogs! As a dog person this was just the best thing ever!! I’ll forever stop here when making my trip to our cabin Thank you so so much!
Great get away. Good food friendly service. They have gas and motels to stay at with plenty of options with full kitchens.
You don't go riding up on those mountains and NOT stop by BFI! The inside is huge but the cabana bar and hanging outside is where it's at! Owners are very friendly, and super cool. Also dog lovers so extra points awarded.
Found this place when we ran off the road. We were able to stay in the restaurant while we waited for help. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Food was great and Justin saved the day.
