I was severely bitten by bed bugs in the bedroom of cabin 70. I let the clerk know and she was sweet, advised me to put my clothes in the dryer because thats what they usually do in the off season and she wrote it down, shouted at someone in the back but he didnt respond.I was feeling grossed out and in pain ( my ear was swollen)so I went home. Two days later I emailed them regarding a refund or some type of action. They never responded..even after a follow up email. It was awful. Wasted $500.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The electrical needs an upgrade, it has been neglected which caused GFI's to trip in the two rooms we reserved. No heat from the space heaters and inoperable refrigerators. Their solution was to unplug and remove a refrigerator, with complete rudeness to our friend who is legally blind. She remarked well you don't need lights to sleep, and I had told her that my friend needs even more lights to see the room, she doesn't know the layout in the middle of the night. The owners were so short with us, because they had someplace to be, that the last offer they gave us was "we can refund you and you can all stay someplace else". Sure at 8:30pm, not professional to say the least.

It’s definitely rustic

Reserved a king room and switched to a cabin with queen bed and credit card charged with fees 2 days prior to arrival despite being told we could pay cash. Friendly check in so we didn’t complain because we had limited options. Cabin was clean but very outdated and bed not comfortable and tiny bathroom. Needs updating for the price charged but I suppose that’s the market rate in that area to be near the train. Would not stay again for those reasons but owners were nice.

If this is your budget, BOOK NOW!!

We loved our stay in this room, it was budget, yes, BUT it had every single thing we needed. Reception very kind and gave good advice for eating out. Beware - things close early and we did end up using the supermarket on the main road and returning to heat something in the microwave. This was not a problem for us but watch out! loved the look of the cabins and next time will choose one of these. Lovely quiet rural area. Thank you to staff and highly recommend.
