Liked the private cabins. Didn’t like the road noise but we were in #11. I’m sure many of the others weren’t as susceptible to the road noise as they were much further away. But the white noise unit at bedside hmmmm Elle’s a lot. We’ll come again!

Awesome time
My fiancée and I stayed here, and it was a great experience. The cabins were clean and modern, and were walking distance from the shops and restaurants. Tracy, the property manager, was beyond awesome. Very friendly and made sure our stay was positive. We will definitely be back soon.
