Good location, room to park a trailer and some privacy off the main road. We loved our stay!
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
Pros: Mostly clean, good location, nice home.Cons: Two of the 4 of us had trouble with sore necks and backs after sleeping in the beds. Hot Tub did not have any bromine in it. We have a hot tub so we brought a test strip, this is how we knew. We called and they did come right away and filled it however the alkalinity was low so we offered up our chemicals to help fix that. The TV was broken, it worked but had static in it through most of the shows. We understood it was a weekend and they couldn't get a new one to us in time but the only compensation for the incovenience was 15% off a future stay. We were only there for a wedding and have no desire to come back. There was also no shampoo or soap in the shower/bath tub as stated in the listing. Thankfully I brought some for everyone just in case. Based on these items I feel that one could say there was some false advertising and no compensation for the issues not available to us. There was laundry detergent but zero instructions. Overall it was a nice, very quiet place but I felt they should have compensated us for all the lack of amentities that we expected. I won't be staying at this place again.
