Rusted shower curtain pole and rings in cabin 10. doors to bedroom and bathroom need a good paint job, many scuff marks and stains. Walls in sitting area need washed or painted, more dark scuff marks and stains. Otherwise enjoyed our stay. Pool area with hot tub kept pristine!

I like Stephanie the staff very professional and nice. What I didn’t like was there is no coffee and coffee machine in room. I stayed here couple times before I like the quality of the room and a big swimming pool and hot tub. The location is in the center of downtown Port Austin.

It needs updating ! Even a coat of paint would be nice and make it seem cleaner! New carpet and a chair plus headboard on bed would have made us more comfortable !
