This was a perfect set-up for our family, offering a variety of sleeping options, plenty of dishes and cookware, a good common area, and lots to do within walking distance. The owner was kind and helpful and we had no issues. Fit our group of seven well.
Very nice place and the host was great we had a few issues with supplies such as no laundry soap and no tp. We had a several hour power outage one night so we turned it into a star gazing night. Pool and rec room were great. Needless to say nobody wanted to leave
