This was a pleasant surprise. Is like a little cabin very close to the park. No Air conditioning, but enought fans. Very spacious and clean. It had everything we needed. We received a code for the door and the WiFi details via email. We never had a need to contact the property. There was a jacuzzi we used one night. The kids loved the cabin as each had a double bed.

This cute little cabin was extremely clean, and cozy. However, if you have a 6’4 husband like mine the bathroom shower entrance is a little small, but totally okay. Just maybe worth mentioning to future tall guests, doorways are slightly shorter than average. But definitely not a deal breaker. The river out the front door was the absolute topper.
