LOVED our cabin and hoping to be in the area so we can stay again! Has a warm & cozy feeling. Well insulated and wide selection of TV channels. Comfortable beds, nice patio to enjoy the mornings, gas station next door & their restaurant has good food available for dinner. Staff went above and beyond, even before we arrived.

There is a microwave and a mini fridge, along with a hotel coffee maker. You do have access to a propane BBQ and 2 charcoal grills. There is also an area to have a fire if you desired. Ice machine was a big perk for us as we were camping prior and again after. Although I think you need to ppan ahead a bit as there was no ice bucket. Room was clean- pillows were a bit uncomfortable.

Internet/wifi access was poor. This made the online checkin impossible for me. The air conditioner would not turn on. (Or I wasn't smart enough to run it.) Beds were comfortable. Despite being unable to checkin online, we were able to access the room & enjoyed our night's sleep.

Only stayed 1 of 2 nights booked because it was very dirty there. The bathroom had stains on the sick and toilet, the shower smelled like pee and there was a stain on the comforter. I am a solo female traveler and the door didn’t have a deadbolt either. The check in process was also a bit ridiculous.
