Lovely neighbourhood. Cabin was very private. Grounds well kept, with a nice shared outdoor seating area and free ice machine. Fridge & microwave supplied in cabin. Bathroom was a little bit dated but clean enough and shower was perfectly fine

The person checking me in didnt give me any additional info such as where you can get ice, the room doesn't have air conditioning but there's a fan in the closet. Room was extremely stuffy when o got there. Sat on the little porch and keep the door open to air out the cabin.

The little cabin is cute it’s a old style feel I like that and the view and seating area outside your room the parking is Top tier right at your door couple things broke in the room no big deal Theh provide you a little portable ac it’s really stuff one will and it has no screen so bugs come in. Granted we did get to check in at 1 I think but that’s cause we kept calling but check In is at 4pm but you got leave by 11 my biggest problem and why the 4 starts it’s to damn dark no lights anywhere so I don’t really feel safe if u can’t see what’s around me.

It was fine. You have parking for one car in front of your room, if you have a second car you need to find street parking. The bed/pillows weren't super comfortable, but not horrible. Thankfully there was a portable fan in the room since there is no AC. Location is nice to be close to Carmel without being right downtown
