Very Good

Excellent place to stay! Literally the small tv was the only drawback, but that’s a footnote. This place was way to check into, great to stay in, easily accessible to everything nearby. It’s the perfect getaway place and I can’t wait to come back multiple times this year. Huge fan.
Small room, but big bed and had everything I needed. The only downside was that all the pillows were very big and dense, hard rather than soft. Otherwise, I stay here often and am always satisfied. Nice staff.
I have stayed here numerous times over the last 2 years. It’s a great property, cabins are always ready when you arrive, check in and out is so simplistic. It’s amazing. I return time after time and they never disappoint.
Room wasn't bad. 2nd floor with a outside patio. However the wooden fence around the patio was partially knocked down. It would be nice to have an iron and ironing board, not a deal breaker. I'd stay there again. Close to downtown.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Nice sized room. Had a lovely balcony. Close to the Main St. Area.
Cabin was cute and fit the 8 of us perfectly. Nice kitchen as we cooked and large table we all ate at. Beds were comfortable. We also used barbecue. Great fireplace… bring wood! Large Family room where we played games. Overall we had a blast and i’d recommend to come stay. They also had a restaurant on grounds. And to add we were walking distance from the Village.

Wanted to me to pay extra because Expedia didn’t pay them busted door hinges in the front damage all around the place mold in shower and calcium stains wasn’t as advertised a couch in the picture of the listing wasnt there when we got there and it was replaced with a single bed
The guy that checked us in was very friendly and inviting. The room was clean and we had no issues with anything. Very good access to most places of interest.
