Can walk to town but it isn’t too busy. Easy walk down to the park too. Unit is open and spacious. Bedrooms have ac which is nice in the summer. Would stay here again. ##### Ryan W. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra A. 7 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful updated condo It looked like the condo was recently (and completely) updated--bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen and living room. The kitchen was very well supplied. The owners were great to accommodate a change in dates that I needed to make. I also had a check-in snafu (read the entry directions carefully!) but it was resolved quickly. Two notes: the microwave didn't work (easy to remedy) and the a/c units in the bedrooms are next to your head when you sleep. If this is a problem, you might want to bring ear plugs. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Debra A.

The owners were incredibly responsive, even giving recommendations of kid-friendly places well before our arrival date so I had plenty of time to plan. It is about a 15-20 minute walk into the main part of town so can be difficult to walk with younger kids in tow. It is very close to the adventure park though. Check in and check out we’re both super easy. We would definitely come back! ##### Sonja T.
