I wrote the following short paragraph to recall the days in a mountain resort.

We arrived the mountain resort early. The view is great. I spent two nights in a hostel where I could see the mountain sceneries. We also went to the local tourist attractions.

Is my italic sentence natural?
 
It doesn't work very well as a paragraph but let's forget about that as I understand that you're following my advice about providing context. Thank you for trying.

There are better ways of expressing what you want to say. Here's one:

I spent two nights at a hostel with a view of the mountains.

I've underlined problem areas.

I left "where" alone, but it's also not quite right.
 
We arrived [______] the mountain resort early.

Did you get there before you were supposed to?
 
. . . I spent two nights in a hostel where I could see the mountain sceneries. . . .

Is my italic sentence natural?
1. It wants a comma.

2. Scenery is never countable.

No, you're not wasting your time. I didn't mean to irritate you. There's something with my browser and I can't "like" or "thank" anyone now. It seems that the latest version of my browser isn't compatiable with our forum. I bought a new computer last week.

Perhaps:

We arrived at the mountain.....scenery.....went to some local tourist attractions.
 
Which browser are you using?
 
I can't remember which of our members has posted a note in his signature line to the effect that he can't see 'Thank' or 'Like'.

You could do that to remind us for the time being. (Click Settings and then Edit Signature.)
