Will stay again!
This was a really cute little place and my kids really loved it. It is true, you don’t get very good service at this location, but that’s to be expected. My only issue with the whole experience was the walls were very thin, and you could literally hear the conversations in the next rooms.

Good location to local restaurants and hiking trails. Nice shower and reasonably clean. Towels could use replacing. It was hot and humid out and the AC was struggling to keep the room comfortable. Bridge across creek to property needs attention.
