Great to have more space than a typical hotel room, and the ability to roam outside. Seeing deer in the evenings is an added bonus!

A hair dryer in the room would have been appreciated. I enjoyed the landscaping, and colorful flowers, wildlife and proximity to the park and hiking trails.

Would stay again. Room for improvement.
Neat place to stay. We had 6 people and had a 2 bedroom unit. It was perfect size. Downside was the downstairs bathroom did not have a door that closed. There was something wrong with the top hinge. There was also alot of dog or cat fur on the floor. Our socks were covered. We had to sweep. This is a non-pet place I thought but it was a messy with pet hair so someone before us had a pet in there. The patio was nice we used the grill. Nice kitchen area. Beds were super comfortable which is better than an hotel! Overall would recommend this place. Would recommend the cleaning people vacuum between guests. Even the hard floors/stairs.

Overall this stay was enjoyable. I am assuming no one had stayed in a cabin a bit before us. There were a couple of dead bugs in the curtain area. Along with a centipede in the bathroom. The floor not having any carpet or rugs gor dirty quick and I would have loved to have had a broom to sweep the spots that needed it. The room was quiet and big. It smelled nice and was comfortable. Overall a successful stay.

Fantastic property, very quiet, the neighbors were loud outside and I didn’t hear them at all while inside. I do wish there had been more patio seating. I’m not sure how many it was meant to have as I’m certain the neighbors took several but I suspect there were only a couple chairs at the small table to begin with.

It’s going to look awesome once the landscaping is finished. Free standing buildings with lighted walkways at night. Rooms are very generous size and have patios, nice touch. Only downside was no hair dryer everything else was great!
