Pictures did not accurately reflect the reality. Cabins are actually 3-plexes, not individual cabins. No one was in the office the entire time of our stay. Bathroom door didn’t shut right and could hardly be opened if you got it closed. Half-eaten pizza was left in the fridge and wasn’t thrown away by the cleaning staff. Toilet wouldn’t flush right. One positive note-the bedroom was nice.

Me and my family are on a spontaneous trip and didn’t have anything planned. We needed somewhere to stay the night. I looked up spots on our way to our next destination and this place popped up. Great prices!! We got here late about 7pm went to the office to check in and they already had an envelope with my name on it the WiFi password and the key in it. It was perfect!!! Such a cute place, rooms are nice and clean. And the area we’re in is beautiful. If you’re ever in this area and need a place to stay fast, reasonably priced , and outdoorsy this is the place I’d recommend. Absolutely love it!!!

This place is great! It’s older, for sure, but clean and well maintained. We were a bit concerned about the lack of AC but even in August with lows in the 40s it was perfectly comfortable. Don’t let the rustic vibe or simple rooms throw you off. It’s perfect for what it is and a very good value.

Unacceptable Experience – No Staff, No Support, Still Charged When we arrived, there was no staff on-site to check us in. A phone number was posted on the door, but no one answered. I called an alternate number listed through Booking.com, and the person I reached was incredibly rude and dismissive. It is completely unacceptable to charge a guest's card with no one available for check-in and no reliable way to get assistance. After wasting time trying to reach someone, we had no choice but to leave and stay at the Lodge down the road. I would not recommend this place based on the lack of professionalism, poor communication, and terrible customer service.

I don’t even know where to begin! Our room was not cleaned and the office was closed the whole time we was there, so to go to the management was out of the question! There was hair on the toilet seats, popcorn of the floor, mirror looked like it had been wiped with a dirty cloth! We had to wipe it down just so we could see in it! There was open soda left in the refrigerator, cup stains on the night stands which we wiped off, and oh my gosh the standing rotating fan was disgusting! We will never stay here again, the rv park looked horrible, definitely tell that things are not being taken care of or cleaned! Warning, the pictures on their website are nothing like the actual place!!
