Mountain Breeze Manor

Worth knowing

• Twelve bedrooms, each with its own full bath, for a stated 56 guests at the HearthSide at the Preserve resort.
• Eleven rooms have a king plus a full-size futon; one room has two sets of queen bunks.
• The page says a church van can reach it, though 4WD is suggested in winter.

Ask before you book

Built from what the operator's page left open when we checked.

1. Is your stated capacity the permitted occupancy, or a count of every bed and sofa?
2. Can meals be provided, or does your group cook for itself?
3. Which rooms and bathrooms work for a wheelchair or walker?
4. Is alcohol allowed on the property?
