We had a great time. The Cabin is more dated that it appears on the photos, although it appears some recent improvements have been made. Everything was great with checkin. We may decide to stay again.

Nice - but over priced

The cabin was in a nice location, but was a little dated for the price. Some pots and pans come with the rental, but they were dirty. You get towels but no wash cloths. Pool sticks are damaged, foosball table doesn’t work. Pillows are flat.
