I was in a Basic Cottage, which means a bed, electricity and heat/AC. But it also means no noisy fridge! This cabin was sooo quiet! I loved it, even though I had to go across the driveway to get to the water facilities (sink, toilet, shower). This is a rather rustic, but very nice location. The staff were friendly and great.
