Take into account, this is a State Park, not a private resort. I personally prefer supporting public families than private business. Sure, it's not as fancy or updated in decor or appliances, but it is clean, with a focus on sustainable products, which messages with my values. It is a BEAUTIFUL setting. I look forward to my next stay there!
