I really enjoyed staying at this property. It was comfortable, they provided everything I needed, and when I had an issue with the stove, they immediately came and fixed it. The pool was lovely, the grounds were clean and there was ample outdoor space for me to walk my dogs away from other clients staying there. It was close to the lake, close to shops and restaurants and a very nice place all around! ##### Pat Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacqueline 26 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Family friendly Everything was awesome cabins were clean and comfy.

It was a cute rustic cabin, and it was so clean. When we got there we enjoyed all the amenities that were provided they gave us coffee to making the coffee maker, which is a sweet surprise. For my preference the beds were a little bit on the southside but I know some people like softer beds than I do. The owners are really sweet and very helpful. All in all was a great place to stay. And one of the only properties that accept pets. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3C2589254E60063B2401CF9AAB3D051A643C00C31695665150963.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EDD611371F4FE6B5D787DD2E80BC8A485BBFC44F1695665146746.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1737F822974072E546872834F1D676D12637BF481695665148149.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/125C0C0166A576B13BBAAF210E0D9A320E5D92AE1695665152898.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jacqueline L Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Parounag 9 Jul 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities the property had a strong gas smell and felt unsafe to stay. ##### Parounag Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Miles 25 Aug 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Place is run down and unmaintained.

Only bounouses was a decent pool and the cheap price. ##### Miles Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Susan 23 Jan 2023 #### Had a jacuzzi a plus. We didn’t use though. There was definitely a smell of natural gas in cabin 19. They say it wasn’t but it definitely was. Bring your own towels and toiletries besides toilet paper. ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Brian 11 Jun 2024 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness #### You get what you pay for. The property is really run down and the cottage we stayed in was very neglected. From simple little things like burnt out light bulbs to the blinds feeling greasy when we went to open the windows. It’s pretty sad since the property looks like it once was a nice place. The lady in the office was really nice though. ##### Brian Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jasen 5 Dec 2022 Location was great. Grounds of property were kept up nice spacious areas. Believe most or all cabins have their own personal parking which is very convenient. Cons heater in cabin wasnt working first night called after hours number for help did not get a response until 630 am so first nihht we were pretty cold.cleanliness was sub par hair stuck on the walls in the bathroom pullout out soaga bed had crumbs in it for 300 a nigjt definitely expect to ne cleaner. Upon check out to go over these things with them office was empty called the number on door for assistance and no answer so just had to leave the key in the drop box for check out. ##### Jasen Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### VIRGINIA 23 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Convenient and cozy Our stay was very good overall. Our family enjoyed the stay and would book again. Bring your own consumables: shampoo & conditioner, paper towels, cooking oil PROS: All rooms were clean, plenty of towels, everything we needed for cooking and serving food was provided, toaster, coffeemaker, microwave, oven & range, and full size refrigerator (Cabin 21), 32" TV with cable, four queen beds and a king size roll out couch gave our group plenty of room, great wifi, convenient access right on Hwy 18. CONS: The pool was closed until memorial day and the playground is rickety, no breakfast (plenty of places nearby). $50 fee charged at check in (described at booking but not added to hotels.com price.) Only some cabins have Jacuzzi tub (not a big deal for us). Stairs are small and narrow. ##### VIRGINIA Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Dinika 5 Apr 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication The ants were swarming the kitchen. The fireplace could not be used as it smokes. The worst complaint I have is I finalized on Expedia and the the property tagged on extra fees that said taxes. When I asked them about it they said it was a cleaning fee that they don’t include in third party sites. I am not a happy customer and will never return and will tell everyone I know. ##### Dinika Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chelsea Rene 23 Jun 2024 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nora at the front desk was very nice and accommodating. The size of the cabin was sufficient for our party of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids). It had all of the necessary amenities to get through our weekend trip. However, this place is severely outdated and not well maintained at all. While I understand the want to keep the cottages “vintage”, some things require updating such as windows, drapes, TVs, bedding, showers, outdoor benches and BBQs. This place feels very stuffy, dusty and most hardware and appliances are VERY old and not in great condition. The most unappealing part of the stay was the grounds. They are not well maintained at all, with tons of overgrowth, weeds, broken down parts of appliances and none of the common amenities are in working order or in good condition. The pool was decent. The picnic bench outside of our cabin was broken, splintered and weathered and unusable. Cobwebs, bugs and dust everywhere. I would most likely not stay here again as there are so many other cabin choices that are better taken care of within the same area for similar pricing. ##### Chelsea Rene Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marsel 22 Sept 2022 Disliked: Communication #### Misleading advertisement The pictures are misleading for the cabin we stayed in. As a Hotels.com gold member, we were guaranteed a certain price. We paid that price but was unaware of the “daily cleaning fee” which they charged to our account. The floor needed vacuuming, there was never anyone in the office, the pillows and bed were old and flat, and there was no real patio or porch. The shower head fell apart! I think if we are going to pay an additional “daily cleaning fee” then the floors should be vacuumed and not swept, and landscaping shouldn’t have blown a bunch of debris into the spa and pool, making it unusable! The pictures for our cabin, showed the deluxe cabin and not the actual one that we got. It was tiny! The toilet seat was worn down to where the paint was coming off and the fixtures were ancient. If I had known about the additional cleaning fee, I would have booked the lake front lodge! ##### Marsel Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Vanessa 3 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The property needs major repairs, the booked cabin we reserved was not available and this is the second time this has happened. Hot tub had freezing cold water again. Poor cleaning and old rundown cabin along with everything in it. It’s under new ownership and unfortunately it seems like saving every penny is their priority and not an investment property. ##### Vanessa Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francisco 28 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication just loved it ##### Francisco Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kimpton Everly Hotel Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-Everly-Hotel-Hollywood.h17524828.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Big-Bear-Lake-Hotels-Bluegreen-Vacations-Big-Bear-Village.h5244355.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Ocean-View-Hotel.h19135.Hotel-Information) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Hollywood.h32945867.Hotel-Information) > > [Biltmore Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Millennium-Biltmore-Los-Angeles.h25715.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Lake Pool & Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Silver-Lake-Pool-Inn.h34504058.Hotel-Information) > > [Level Los Angeles Downtown - South Olive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Level-Los-Angeles-Downtown-South-Olive.h10649672.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Los Angeles Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-CitizenM-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h65299564.Hotel-Information) > > [Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coronado-Hotels-Coronado-Island-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h25270.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [W Los Angeles - West Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Los-Angeles-West-Beverly-Hills.h25974.Hotel-Information) > > [Mondrian Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Mondrian-Los-Angeles.h4798.Hotel-Information) > > [W Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Hollywood.h3084874.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Bahia-Resort-Hotel.h18241.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton La Peer Hotel West Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-La-Peer-Hotel.h18156733.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wayfarer San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Wayfarer-San-Diego.h15555.Hotel-Information) > > [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > > [Cornell Hotel de France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Cornell-Hotel-De-France.h1222727.Hotel-Information) > > [Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Clarion-Hotel-Anaheim-Resort.h3893.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun Rose West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Sun-Rose-West-Hollywood.h57961536.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barnes San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Villa-Florence-San-Francisco-On-Union-Square.h5425.Hotel-Information) > > [HOLLYWOOD VOLUME, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-HOLLYWOOD-VOLUME.h62585670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Francisco Union Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hilton-San-Francisco-Union-Square.h25622.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Downtown/Bayside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Diego-DowntownBayside.h13155016.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Fishermans-Wharf-San-Francisco.h22500.Hotel-Information)
