Its quite dated. The room was musty and we had to air it out with the windows open. The bed was on a slope in the floor so i felt like i was falling out of bed most of the night. No smart tv so be prepared for basic cable. Weak water pressure, cobwebs all over the walls, very dusty. Staff were very nice, the restaurant sucked. Very expensive and terrible food

Barbara

Liked: Cleanliness

Good view, comfy, missing details, overscented.

The unit is okay, the place is very quiet, and the view is fabulous. Three things that need improvement: snow and ice removal. I stepped out of my vehicle and onto ice in our parking spot, which was on a slope. It's a narrow spot, so nowhere else to put your foot. They use far far too much scented product in the laundry. If you're environmentally sensitive bring your own sheets and pillow cases. The kitchen is poorly equipped. In a two bedroom unit, which presumably sleeps four, there was one large fork and one dessert fork, same with spoons. Only slightly annoying but so easily fixed. Check in was easy but not secure if you're a nervous traveler.

The cottage was so lovely and cute and beds were very comfortable. We had an excelllent view and staff was super friendly. The only thing was that we were in a lower unit with people above us. Once the people above us checked in, we could hear absolute everything including their conversations and every footstep because the walls were so thin. We were woken up early by the floor creaking upstairs and the stomping. Wish we had a singular unit or an upstairs unit...
