Since our stay there was only 1 night, we had very minimal time to really respond to some of the rating questions bc we got in later in PM and left by 10 in AM. But the rustic cabin room decor was very nice. And the beauty & grandeur of God’s creation behind our unit and right there with the stream coming down (& somewhat noisily) was very nice. Thus I’ll rate this as excellent overall.

My room was on the ground level creekside and the sound of the creek at night was so nice to sleep to! The rooms are a bit dated, but overall a nice facility. My stay was in March so it was a bit too chilly to enjoy the creekside back porch.

Okay place to stay. Beds and pillows need updating and replacing. Got two very lumpy pillows to start and had to request different pillows.

Nice setting by the brook. Property maintenance was warm - several bulbs burned out, one light didn’t work at all and the lighting in the bathroom was too low to do makeup.
