I typically do not write reviews but this needs to be shared. Sheets were dirty, pubic hairs found on sheets, white substance stains on the comforters, dirty blankets with holes in them when we arrived. Rooms do not match the website pictures at al!!! The mold or mildew smell in the room was unbearable. This place needs to be cleaned up. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Grounds were not as pictured. PVC chairs on deck, not adirondacks as shown in photos. No swings for the kids, no umbrella on picnic benches with grille. Pool only had 2 lounge chairs. Pool had pile of dirt with cigarette but at bottom. Not very family oriented. Cabin we were in could use some work. Capet is old and smell like feet. Walls could use repair and a good coat of paint. Front deck needs replacing.

Room was clean and the property was very neatly kept with pretty gardens. Furniture and decor a little dated but I didn't care about that because we were basically only there at night to sleep. AC was cold, bed was comfy. It was not luxurious, but it met our needs. I would stay there again.

It was a long day and we needed a place for one night. This hotel was close by and the price seemed reasonable for what they advertised. The cabin we stayed in was clean but old and had the bare minimum. The shower was very small, no hair dryer & a tiny packet of shampoo. No hangers on the clothes rack. Should have been no more than $100.00 not close to $200.00 that we paid.

The property it about what you would expect for the price. If it seems too good to be true.. it probably is.
