Really good.

Getting there can be confusing, so call ahead if you're planning to ski at Çambaşı Plateau. The map may send you the wrong way, and I spent two days telling the owner the road was bad after taking the wrong route. When they dropped us off, we reached the main road in five minutes on a very nice village road. The turn for Çambaşı ski center is directly across from where the road to the business meets the Sivas-Ordu highway. They can meet you on the main road if needed. I suspect people who complain about the road made the same mistake I did. The business and staff are truly wonderful, kind, and generous. I'd recommend staying here.

I haven't tried the bungalow accommodation, since I prefer tents. On my last visit, I couldn't charge my phone or power bank, though the lighting was fine. That was the only issue, and there was a misunderstanding about it too. Even in the off-season, the staff were very attentive. I appreciated the friendly, personal approach. Getting there can be tricky because of the signs, so make sure you understand the directions before you go. I was last there five years ago, and the establishment has since moved. Thanks again to everyone at Uzunırmak, and congratulations on the new place.

Honestly, when we visited, the bungalows weren't even there yet. Then I saw someone comment that "the owner is trying to make money out of thin air," and it seems like nothing has changed since then 🤣
