Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
I would not stay here again. There were several issues that put a damper on the trip. The heater in the main room is EXTREMELY loud, making it hard to sleep in the main house. The trashcans on property were completely filled when we arrived leaving no room at all to leave our trash until we were responsible to take it to the city dump. There was a large crack/shatter in the mirror of the main bedroom which made using it risky to use and avoid further damage. Ceiling had a leak with the rain and flooded the man hallway with water. Sent the property messages with the response of “we have work orders to fix that”. Just frustrating overall as this was a family Christmas trip.
