Why Somerset?

Personalized Service

As a small, family-run resort, our staff takes the time to get to know each guest by name. We remember your preferences and tailor your stay to ensure you feel like part of the Somerset family, not just another reservation number.

Local Expertise

Our team lives, works, and plays right here in the area. Whether it’s recommending the best hiking trails, secret swimming spots, or local dining gems, we offer insider knowledge that hotel chains just can’t replicate.

Seamless Experiences

Our team works closely together, so your requests are communicated seamlessly across departments. Whether you have a special request at the restaurant or need assistance with your room, our staff provides a smooth, uninterrupted experience.

“We enjoyed the resort and appreciated all the hard work the staff put in to make our staff an enjoyable one”
