The area was quiet. Only two things that were not major… There was no railing to the upstairs. The TV remote was not easy to use and it was confusing to find a channel to watch. Other than that, it was a great place to stay. ##### Nancee H.

Alana was timely and helpful in all our communications. The property was clean and exactly as presented in the listing. My wife is handicapped with mobility issues and found getting around was no problem. The only challenge for us was using the TV, since we are not up on the latest technology. We also aren’t familiar with the immediate area which made it harder for us to find alternatives to our planned outside activities on rainy days. ##### John G. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ---
