It was kind of tight for 4 adults but it worked. They were clean and comfortable. We had a kitchenette which was handy. The communal bathrooms, kitchen, and sitting area were nice, clean, and comfortable. The laundry area was nice with fairly new washers and dryers. The washers included washing soap and so we didn’t need to buy any washing soap. The lake was just across the road and it was an easy walk into town. The only downer about the place was that we couldn’t get internet in our room. We had to be in the communal areas to get it.
