Cabin was adorable and comfortable, although the “office” was not located at the site…it was 2 blocks away at the General store. Parking was pretty cramped, but we made it work.

Liked: Staff & service
I got Gina's name but not the guy that helped us too. They were both so sweet and personable and always willing to help. Now the room was small, bathtub in #10 was out of order but the bed was comfortable which helped us sleep really well. The train nor traffic bothered me and I sleep light. But overall staying there was pleasant and that small town vibe was lovely.

The rooms were clean and tidy. Amenities in each room varied from flat screens vs old tv, coffee machine no coffee machine. The cost was far too much for what you get. Owner and Staff however are very helpful and nice. It needs a face list. The cafe close by is great and the coffee truck is awesome across the street. Plus they turned us on to the Jamaican and Pizza food trucks which were delicious

We stayed coming and going from the park so got to see several of the rooms. They are all slightly different. They all met our basic needs. Nothing fancy. The staff was helpful and very friendly.

Stay somewhere else.

This is a place to avoid. The WiFi did not work. The bathroom is literally 2' by 3'. I didn't even try to take a shower. There is mold on the ceiling of the shower. There was a bulb out in the ceiling light fixture. There is no AC. Yes, I know it is a cool climate. The main room was approximately 9' by 9'. The bathroom sink water tap was so short that I could not fit my had underneath. There was not a fan or window in the bathroom. The parking situation is poor. Guests coming after us had to park on street. The photos are not representative of the room we were in.
