Overpriced for what you get

Not what I expected based on the pictures. It was in the 20's while there and the floors are freezing. They need some rugs. The bathroom was not level so it effected everything. Needed a stove in it for cooking. No comfortable sitting area. The cabins are basically in a small paved parking lot. I would not stay or advise anyone to stay there.

Exorbitantly overpriced and tiny

Room was clean. Bathroom beyond tiny. Property fee was ridiculously expernsive - $219 for three nights on top of $172.10 for the room per night. Definitely in no way worth $245.10 per night in the peak of offseason. Read the fine print

We stayed in Cabin #2, The Loft. The layout was great for our small family. The only thing was that we could not get the TV's to work. We were able to watch a show or two the first night, but then the device said it needed to be charged. We plugged it in overnight and the next day, and the next, but it wasn't charging no matter what plug we used (straight USB or with a wall USB adapter). We could not get the second TV to turn on either. I guess this was a healthy alternative for us, to "unplug" for the time and enjoy the experience and time as a family :)
