We did not raise any complaints about the room's condition upon check-in, nor did we request any extra supplies. We left the room clean and tidy, yet you are charging me $77 for toiletries? Eight adults stayed in the room—do you honestly think that a single bar of soap and a few miniature bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion are sufficient? This charge is absolutely unacceptable and unreasonable.

Our room was supposedly a 2 bedroom cottage, that is, a bedroom on the main floor and a loft with two beds as the second bedroom. The stairs to the loft were so narrow and scary especially for my son who was on the spectrum, the room also had a smell, like pet urine that was not properly cleaned out. I went to ask for a change of room especially because of the stairs but was advised to just let my special needs son sleep on the sofa bed in the living room and I decided not to push it, so we endured the two nights there since we were unable to cancel.The porch was very dirty with old debris from surrounding trees and dirt and I noted that ours was the only one around with that condition, I concluded that we were given the worst of the accommodations because we booked through a third party and got it cheaper than the hotel’s website. For the size of the establishment, the pool was so minuscule, maybe 10 kids max if they are taking turns to swim. Outdoor parking also sucks! Pros: The service was fast when we asked for a fan replacement as the one in the loft was not working, we were also given free bus passes for app adults so that we won’t need to pay for parking downtown, we drove everywhere anyway as it was off peak season. The kitchen has the neccessary utensils and gadgets (except for a frying pan ) for cooking so we were able to do some light cooking. Overall, I would not use this place again.

The property itself appears well kept over all. The front house staff were attentive and friendly upon check in. The mattresses in the rooms appear to be quite new. However the cleanliness was definitely not up to standards and the floors were very dirty with sticky spots on the kitchen floors, cobwebs upstairs in the loft, and dirty baseboards throughout.

We took the grandchildren there for their March break. They loved the loft where there was two double beds for them to share. We had a bedroom on the main floor for us. It was very nice to have a kitchen as one of the grandchildren was very particular as to what he would eat and when. Would definitely recommend this to friends and family, and will return in the future.

Usually a wonderful place to stay. However this time they decided to do major construction work right outside my window early in the morning. The unit was not advertised on Expedia, nor elsewhere, as room with construction noise, so it's extremely misleading. Especially in a mountain resort people tend to come for the quiet. At the very least they could have waited until a reasonable hour. It wasn't a pleasant way to wake up and I had a migraine the entire day as a result. It's also not sensitive to those with sensory issues. At least some warning would have been nice, some honest forthrightness.
