Very relaxing Cabin are a nice size. Great sleeping accommodations for six. They should cut the air in the cabin in the summer time before arrival it was pretty hot when we got there live the fact that there are ceiling fans throughout. Definitely going to plan another trip there. I rented a lake view cabin with a cabin and live it!!
Incredibly and pleasantly surprised by how well stocked the cabin was. There were kitchen tools, including pots and pans, so that we could cook, which was awesome! There were also plenty of blankets and extra bedding. Our only complaint was that the mattress in the bedroom was wayyy too stiff, so we ended up sleeping on the pull out couch, which was pretty comfy.
This place was so quiet and the space inside was way better than any hotel room especially when you’re traveling with children. The check in was super easy, you just grab the keys then for check out you can just turn them into a black mailbox on the way out.
The cabin was okay but a disappointment. There were multiple spider webs throughout…black mold in the ceiling of the bathroom and beginning of stair case; also the beds were very springy and not comfortable….Also there were a lot of stains in the carpet on the second floor to the point that I went back to the front desk; I wasn’t offered another cabin I am sure they possibly were booked; it would have been nice if the cabin was clean and comfortable….there was truly a lot to do with the pools and the river that had rental equipment….also the general store was very low in stock but grocery stores are about 20-30 minutes out.
This cabin will meet your needs for a vacation feel with the rest and relaxation. We chose a cabin with a full kitchen, that was fully functional, but the stove is VERY small. The cabin was SUPER clean, with the basic essentials for preparing a quick meal. The view was beautiful, and the entire weekend was relaxing.
Overall quite a good experience and would definitely go back. Weather was unfortunately not cooperating as it was torrential downpours the first day of a two day visit, and the next was scorching hot. Was hoping for a more memorable exp for my two year old birthday weekend, but that's no fault if the place, just the circumstances. Cell reception is ehh, and wifi kept going in and out, which didn't bother us too much except for the times we were stuck inside. Otherwise lots of things to do in the grounds. Will try and go back in the fall when the weather is nicer.
