Our studio was cute and comfortable. We had a hard time trying to check in (waited outside for an hour and a half for instructions), so that part was not good. Overall a good stay and good location.

Our stay at the cabin was amazing. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The peaceful surroundings made it easy to unwind, and the host was professional and responsive throughout our stay. Overall, one of the best stays we’ve had—highly recommend and would definitely come back!

Clean and comfortable. You get what you pay for. I’m sure the owner could afford mini-splits, but that’s my only complaint. (No ac) it was 85-89 when I was there, glad I brought a fan.

We had a power outage every night and there was no lanterns or flashlights available to us. Also, the shower head had a lot of pressure felt like needles when you were taking a shower and and I created a water mess.

Unfortunately, our stay was frustrating from the start. The registration process was excessive and much more complicated than necessary. The Wi-Fi instructions provided were incorrect, and when I contacted staff for assistance, I was told no rather than being offered a solution. The room only had decaf coffee available, and the fan barely kept the room cool. While the room was clean, the lack of attention to guest comfort and service made this a disappointing experience overall.
