Wonderful Property.We had a great visit at this property. Cleanliness, layout and decorating were very nice.Outdoor space was the star - a beautiful, refreshing pool with pool toys for the kidsHot tub was clean and a perfect temperature Landscaping made you feel you were at a resort.It was very convenient to the National Park which was a main attraction for us.If there was any downside, it was that there were not many eateries nearby other than chains. We would most definitely stay here again.

Four of us really enjoyed staying for a week at this conveniently located, well stocked, and very clean property. Kristine was very helpful answering questions. Having access to the garage was a plus with the heat wave. What made it for all of us was being able to hang out by and use the pool. Would return.
