Excellent Location and Price

This property is great. Has everything you need. Heater was perfect. We had a great time and enjoyed walking to restaurants on the same block, having ice cream, and enjoying the fireplace with a movie. Very cozy. Price was incredible. About 200 less than a regular cabin. Loved it.

Unit was perfect. Immaculately clean. Bunk beds in living area & a separate master bedroom with a comfortable clean king bed and en suite bath/shower. Big TV in main room with WiFi. Exactly as depicted. Perfect location if you’re interested in being in the center of The Village, easy access to all the shops and restaurants. Simple. No fuss. Just comfortable and convenient to everything. Parking was right behind the building, which made it easy to load and unload. Very simple check-in virtually. Good communication. I will def return.

The location was perfect and it was a very spacious room. However, everything was old and run down. The toilet seat was broken. There was hair in the shower and very poor water pressure. The beds were old. The bathroom vanity was broken. Everything just needed upgrading. It wasn't a comfortable stay.
