Positive: Craig was a great host, accommodating to his guests, with great sense of hospitality. The location was perfect in the middle of valley, pretty calm and surrounded by greenery. Breakfast was healthy and energetic. Bonus point (on top of great coffee for coffee lovers 😊), the Lodge offers activities such as rafting, canyoning, etc. through local partners with negotiated rates. Great experience overall, hoping to come back again

Positive: Craig san & Rika san are wonderful, caring hosts! They were so warm and always helpful. Craig san used to personally help with pick ups/ drop offs to the nearest train station (JR Minakami station) and he'd even go the extra mile to help me get to restaurants in the area for dinner (he had even collected me at 9:00 PM once!) Always willing to share wisdom of living in the area, Craig san would compare and contrast the experiences of living in a megacity like Tokyo vs. living in the quiet wilderness of the Minakami area. The house has been personally renovated by them and I love that it's full of small details -- LOTS of excellent coffee available round the clock if you like! (Usually, hotels serve regular coffee which is cut off after 6:00 PM). The breakfast sets were excellent and containing several smaller items -- a quiche, sometimes a crumble, often granola with yoghurt, and fruits. Plus, more excellent coffee -- I loved their Mocha! The outdoor patio is a welcoming place to sit and work and the WiFi is available there too. The hosts are well integrated into the local community, so everybody knows them, and its a charming place to be irrespective of the season. The property is especially stunning in Autumn/ Fall and Spring.
Summary: High value, wonderful hosts, and a stone's throw from Tokyo!

Positive: Breakfast was delicious and pleased everyone in the family. Especially amazing granola. The location was fabulous and lovely surroundings. We will be back in May and excited to see the area once the snow has fully melted. The on-site hosts were very available and kind and when the owner popped in, he was extra welcoming and lovely. I'm sure there are guests that return simply because of his warm hospitality! The big lounge area was simply perfect for us as we were traveling with another family and could gather to play games, drink coffee and even play the piano. So fun! We will be back!
Negative: I know it's a coffee roastery : ) and my husband loved the beautiful coffee...would you consider adding a good chai latte to the menu? The brewed tea was plenty good enough...but chai option would make it special! The second night we asked for additional bedding and the hosts were quick to provide. I don't want to critique anything as it was otherwise SUCH a lovely stay, and we will definitely return!
Summary: Gorgeous spot, wonderful and homey inn, we were well looked-after!

Positive: The host Craig was exceptional, his ability to look after us and all guests was a joy. Nothing is to hard and his local knowledge is unbelievable. It is so peaceful and beautiful particularly when it has snowed. Very local and getting to meet some of the other guests was great. I have owned a guest house previously and had over 40 years in the hospitality and tourism industry and Craig is just a shining example of what a great host should be! Well done to you and your team, and it was wonderful speaking with you.
Negative: If you don’t have a car you’re limited for lunch and dinner choices. Also local Onsen etc. Craig ran us around and made sure we could enjoy these and we didn’t miss out. Just better choices and available if you have a car.
Summary: A wonderful peaceful and beautiful experience

Positive: The host was incredibly flexible, friendly, responsive, and looked out for us as we navigated around the city. Buying discounted lift tickets was very convenient. The location was a short walk from a very nice public onsen and a sick hiking trail. The guest room and piano were a relaxing way to end our evenings. The breakfast pastries and coffee were excellent.
Negative: Wi-Fi was a bit slow.
Summary: Excellent, friendly host!
