This review is for the hotel portion, room 33 only. I didnt see any other rooms or cabins. The room is very run down. It smelled like mold, had sticky drops if something on the bathroom floor, electrical outlets didnt work, lights kept flickering (electrical not bulb issue), and I could hear some kind of critter eating something on or in the building in the hallway most of the night. I would recommend an investment by the owners into fixing and remodeling. I do not recommend staying in that room.

Very unsafe. Lighting brightened and dimmed indicating substandard wiring. Very dark at top of stairs, had to use flashlight to see keyhole. GFCI receptacle in bathroom lost power when light switch turned off indicating GFCI wired wrong. Should not be wired through light, should be dedicated circuit to comply with code. Section of wall had been removed in stairwell appeared someone working on plumbing or something. Person that check us in was dirty. Appeared to be maintenance man. Very dirty hands etc. Main door deadbolt inoperative, thumb latch on knob only locked for security. Will never stay here again.

Beautiful area. Our room are old and worn down. The lamp shade was crushed and chairs are soooo old. The shower curtain is old. The knob on shower fell off. The place is super cute and would be so nice with a little money put into it... updates and nicer furniture/bedding/decor/etc. The staff is very nice and helpful and pleasant. We interacted briefly with 3 different people and all were nice and helpful.

This was the worst place I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t stay there! So they said they would refund me the $441 for the 3 nights I was going to stay and I left! Instead of refunding they charged me another $441! The couch was super old and falling apart. The light fixture for the kitchen was in the floor. The rugs were worn and dirty. The room and bathroom were not clean. The bedding was awful. I’d rather sleep in my truck than in that terrible place which is what I did! Beware
