Nice place to stay

Nice little place to stop. Great service and restaurant on site was fantastic. A little noisy from traffic as the highway is right next to most of the cabins but the AC running helped block out most of the traffic noise.

Decent stay

This was an overall comfortable stay. The privacy of individual cabins was nice for peace and quiet. Our cabin, number 45 was in need of an update. Broken blinds and some nasty mold on the walls around the shower. I forgot to take photos. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. There was no in unit housekeeping, but if you needed anything they had a checklist that you left outside your door and it was dropped off. There’s a no frills pool that lots of kids enjoyed. Plenty of towels are supplied. The restaurant is ok. Not great. We ate breakfast twice and dinner once. I thought there were better places in town. Overall, it was a good base for our trip, and the whole area is fantastic!
