"It was within walking distance of everything and the staff was very friendly. The cabins are cute my only suggestion would be if you stay in the family cabins bring some kind of fan the ac is only in the bigger area so when the door is shut it can get hot in the bedrooms. We enjoyed our stay."

"1st...just trying to get the door opened..they give you the code but don't tell you about the other buttons that need to be pushed/used...2nd...you had to body slam yourself to get the door open. The carpet and floor are so warped the door wouldn't open or close without a body slam..the door wouldn't lock . The 4 batteries in the door fell out when you either open or closed the door..3rd..it was very damp in the room..4th..no hot/cold symbols on the water handles..it took awhile to figure out...
