"It was good"

Cabins In The Pines Unit 2-Covered Porch - - Charcoal Grill - Wood Fireplace

8/10 Good

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rustic character, could use some upgrades. Loved the charm of a modified log cabin and appreciated the general cleanliness (kitchen, bathroom) but the AC unit and fans were dirty and there was a general musty smell. The outlets didn't seem safe as plugs were hanging out, even though the prongs were bent to attempt to hold them in. Not a terrible place, just know that it's an older cabin."

Rolling Hills Lodge

8/10 Good

"Rooms are older but very clean. Our bed this year was lumpy but the staff are very friendly and serve a good breakfast."
