We stayed for one night. Check-in was easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, there was no clear signage directing us to our room, which made it difficult to find—we ended up having to return to the front desk for assistance. The room was generally clean and orderly, but the bathroom needed more attention. There were long black hairs left behind from a previous guest, and the space showed signs of wear and tear, needing some basic maintenance. Overall, we would not choose to stay here again.

Our own little house! With a private balcony that overlooks a roaring stream that's so loud, you have to speak up to be heard. Would definitely stay here again.

Cottages are nicely positioned and have private entrances, but outdated and could have been more thoroughly cleaned. Ours had water problems, smelled strongly of mildew, and during a rainstorm a large amount of water came in under the door. Instead of offering a different room, they had maintenance mop up the water and call it good. Our things got wet, no offer of rectification from management.
