This place was great for us. It was comfortable and quiet with a convenient location. The only drawback for us was the tub shower on the ground floor bc my husband has mobility issues, but we made it work.
I was told that check-in could not be accommodated earlier than 4:00 PM because the property needed additional time to ensure a high-quality guest experience and that all accommodations would be fully prepared. Unfortunately, that was not the case.When we arrived, both the propane fire pit and the patio heater were completely out of propane, making those amenities unusable. I immediately contacted the management team and was told that someone could come the following day. However, I had specifically booked the property with the expectation that all advertised amenities would be available during my stay, not after a day had passed.To avoid losing access to these amenities, I offered to purchase the propane myself if they would reimburse me. They agreed to this arrangement, but despite that promise, I never received a refund.The lack of preparation, failure to provide the advertised amenities, and unfulfilled reimbursement commitment made this a very disappointing experience. I expected much better service and accountability.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us and for sharing your feedback. We always want our guests to have a seamless experience from the moment they walk through the doors, and we understand your disappointment regarding the empty propane tanks on your first evening.
Because our team was unable to deliver replacement tanks late at night, we were truly grateful for your willingness to pick some up so you could enjoy the fire pit right away. We would like to offer a bit of context regarding the reimbursement process. A clerical error unfortunately caused a temporary charge instead of a credit, which understandably caused frustration. As soon as we were made aware, we processed two separate refunds: one to immediately reverse the error, and another to reimburse your purchase alongside an additional credit as a token of our appreciation for your patience and for the inconvenience.
We are fully committed to providing warm, accountable hospitality and hope the rest of your stay was fantastic.
