The unit was very clean and comfortable. The particular one we stayed in had a balcony but due to the weather we didn't go out on it; the view was just "so so" - it just looked into the woods and also down the hill we could see a maintenance building. The kitchen was stocked and although we didn't cook, we felt we could have easily prepared meals.

We were not expecting a two-level space. We spent all of our time in the lower level, which was a kitchen, bathroom and dining area and bedroom. A stacked washer/ dryer came in handy. The only negative is the televisions ( upstairs and downstairs) were of very poor quality. We were watching the colllege football playoffs and this was a big disappointment. Otherwise an excellent property.

Very nice property lots of amenities very pleasant staff and a great property. Split level with stairs with good handrails so if stairs are a problem for you, you might check if there are single level rooms available. Condo like rooms with washer and dryers that work very well.
