Relaxing

We got there and really didn't expect much. But honestly this place was really comfortable. The kitchen has everything dishes, pan, spoon, forks, knives, etc. It did have a Keurig I don't know why I thought it was a regular coffee pot. Beds were comfy and soft. Blankets, sheets, pillows, provided. Game room was a nice not a lot of games but was still very fun! They had balls for basketball court, volleyball, tether ball. Beautiful view lots of trees and mountains very relaxing. Thank y'all we really enjoyed it here!!

This is an old property. The people in the property are exceptionally good. Very serviceable and very nice. If you looking for upscale accommodations look somewhere else. A great place to sit and enjoy the night. I love our stay here.

The location is fantastic and the customer service was friendly and helpful. The building is dated, cheaply constructed, and run down. The flooring had many chips in the tile, the bathroom sink didnt drain well, the shower and grouting was pretty gross, the kitchen lacked pans and cooking sheets, and the game room was really disappointing. There were only a few working arcade games, that required money to play, a the only free items were ping pong, tick-tack-toe and pac man. They also provide one bundle of firewood at check-in, but no means to light it within the room. The tennis and basketball courts had deflated balls and the jungle gym was unsafe for use. Overall, the stay was ok but it was significantly overpriced for what it offered.

Hidden Gem

If you like to be away from all the buzz and noice of other areas. If you like to be left alone. This place is a hidden Gem that I wish I wouldn’t have to write this review so I could keep it hidden. But I also want to give proper attention to where it’s due and let other families enjoy this place like we did. The host is very friendly and helpful.(I apologize I forgot her name)
