The units are more motel style than cabins as they are all connected. It is in town not in a country or rural setting. This is not a negative but a clarification so others understand what to expect. The unit was nice though the shower was very small. They have grills outside and were very nice hosts. I recommend staying, especially if being in town is preferred. ##### Gene H.
