Es un lugar mágico para hospedarse, si lo que buscas es salir de la rutina es 100% recomendado, no hay señal ni luz eléctrica por lo cual es alumbrado por lámparas de petróleo, una experiencia para amantes de la tranquilidad. Los alimentos son riquísimos, el personal muy atento y amable para que tu estancia sea inolvidable.

Es un sitio muy especial. Atendido 100% por nativos rarámuris. La cocina exquisita. La nieve le agregó hermosura al lugar. La chimenea hizo más interesante la charla entre amigos. En general muy bien. La recomendación: hay que reservar previamente.

Nos hospedamos aquí a través de airbnb, fue una excelente opción para salirnos de todo lo relacionado con la ciudad, en las noches era necesario mantener la chimenea dentro del cuarto por el frio, la comida era prácticamente personalizada y la atención por parte de Manuel y el resto fue excelente. Nos guiaron a la cascada, sin embargo pudimos haber tomado el camino y llegábamos directo.
