The room was very clean. I really can't complain. I was having an issue getting the heater going. It was cold and raining, so we really needed it to cut the chill. The manager did his best to get it going. When we couldn't figure out why the heater wasn't coming on, the manager offered to move us to a different room or bring us a space heater.we chose the space heater which was more than sufficient. Huge thanks.

Love this place

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff I didnt really interact with except Barry the manager i really liked him. My cabin was way better than I expected big and roomy i had the double room with the patio. My dog was with me and she settled right in. Not all rooms are pet friendly but that is understandable.
