The staff were very friendly. The property is older and so should be a little bit cheaper. The food portion were really small for the cost of and they need to have better bear control. The place itself was very clean and while I was there, it was quiet.

The cabin we stayed in was in need of a renovation and not as nice as the photo in their ad. There was garbage in the yard, clearly from an animal getting in the trash that needed to be cleaned up. We went to the restaurant, but they were offering takeout only.

The room smelled bad, I have to air it out before we’re staying in. The curtains and blanket were torn, mattress had obscene marker drowning on it that can see through sheet. Even after 10 hours driving it wasn’t pleasant to stay for the night! Bathroom definitely needs cosmetic repair.
