My stay at Fire Mountain Resort was quite the experience. The location offered amazing views of the surrounding mountains, though getting there involved navigating a tricky gravel road which was a bit daunting. I appreciated the personalized touches, like the gracious hospitality from Hiram and Matthew, but breakfast timing was a bit restrictive since it wasn't served until 9 a.m. Overall, it was an enjoyable getaway, but the lack of certain amenities like alcohol on site was a downside.
