The hotel's two outdoor pools and water slide give children an on-site activity, and the shallow end suits younger swimmers. The hotel also has a terrace, outdoor fire pits, and a cornhole board. Guests have reported black bear sightings on the property, so keeping food in the room and car windows rolled up is recommended.

The property includes a terrace, a garden, outdoor fire pits, and a mountain stream. Guests can sit by the creek or use the sun loungers and umbrellas around the pools. Vending machines and daily housekeeping are available on site.
