Needs a little touch up, you can see stains on the ceiling where roof was leaking. Deck’s rails were rough and it was easy to get splintered. The rest was perfect: clean sheets, towels, plenty of dishes We liked it very much ##### Yulia G. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Karen C. 29 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Great for a getaway The space was very comfortable and very well equipped. Everything was clean. The beds were great and very comfortable! Loved the memory foam king bed in the large bedroom. Only one real disappointment was that the place was advertised as having two bedrooms with a king sized bed. However only the master bedroom is a king. The other bedroom actually is a full sized mattress - not a king. Some areas have a bit of wear and tear (cabinetry) but other than that a great place!! ##### Karen C.

The size of the facility was perfect and the large deck and wooded surroundings gave us the exact environment we were looking for to mark our milestone with those most precious to us. The only suggestion I could make is the deck needs some upkeep (staining). We'll be back. ##### Dale W.
