10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Dorothy was lovely, great communication and very welcoming. Pet friendly which was great, shared yard but was able to take turns in letting our dog explore off lead. Cabin & furniture is old but it was clean and bed was comfy, we had beautiful parrots feeding from the bird feeder a property was nice and quiet. The only downside was we booked a lake view cabin and couldn’t see anything but trees.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
The property though old was neat and tidy. The area was very peaceful and the fact that we were able to bring our dog with us was great. We were booked in for two nights but had to leave early.
