Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place is disgustingly dirty. The furniture was original a long, long time ago. Coming in the door to the cottage was like a guillotine and there solution was use a cinder block to hold it open which of course would let in mosquitos. Never addressed. The walls, floors and furniture were filthy, worn down and the cushions collapsed. The beds folded into the middle and we're disgusting. He walked the dog through our yard as the cottage was behind his house. Very intrusive, the kitchen window which faces the cottage was always open and it felt like being spied on. Joined us in the water asked if we wanted privacy but didn't leave. He jovially said "You're wealthy" when we arrived, which I found insulting. 2690 is 4 miles in on Stinson Lake Rd highly inconvenient as only one way out. This place should be delisted from any service, no respect for their property or guests. Great for a frat party.

The hotel was very rundown. The carpet was extremely dirty. There was tape on the ceilings and walls. The towels looked ratty and old and were falling apart. When we used the AC, it was blowing warm air and filled the room with burning electricity smell. We made it one night before we had to leave.

The bed was ok, sheet and towels were clean. The walls were stained, the bath tub was stained and did not look clean. The smell was so bad we actually left early. It seemed like a chemical smell to cover up a mildew problem. Needless to say we won't be going back.

The room was not clean, mildew and scum in bathtub. Hair around sink.Mirrors never cleaned covered in spots . Friends room had many things wrong upon arrival. Location is nice and if you want to have a spot where nobody bothers you. Changed towels daily which was nice but came into room when you were gone. Definitely need some new house keepers.

I really liked the one bedroom cabin. It was nice to have a living room to relax in after a long hike. It could definitely use some updates to the furniture as it was pretty worn looking.
