Our stay was nice. Bed are very comfortable, and the room was well stocked with anything we may have needed extra of a few doors down. The shower was a bit of a pain as the head pointed right at the wall and that could not be changed so you have to remove it to rinse. Other then that I had zero issues with the room.

The room was very clean, recently renovated. The bed was very comfortable, we had a problem with the TV but the owner came right over and took care of it. The bathroom was a bit small but met our needs. Table and chairs were too small and the decor seemed cheap. But the bed was the most important part of this stay. We got a good nights sleep. I would stay here again but it would be crowded with 4 people.

Hot tub well maintained, water 102, could be raised to 104. All jets working. The sink/shower took a long time to heat up. The shower head is HIGH and didn't have enough room to swivel, but if you can reach it, it can be hand held. Communication with staff is by text message. We liked the guest-accessible room with an ice maker, clean towels and amenities like toothpaste and soap.

I stayed in the "tree top"building at the right rear of the property. It is well maintained, very clean, and has lots of hot water with good pressure for the shower. Comfortable queen bed. Plenty of blankets, towels, tissue paper, coffee maker, etc. I do have two minor complaints: Room #6 had an additional bunk bed with a angled 2"X6" leg that stuck out quite a ways. As such it is a "toe stubber," that got my right foot twice. Ow! :( The re-fridge had not been defrosted in quite a while, so the freezer compartment was completely filled with frost. I was unable to use it to refreeze my cooler packs. Otherwise, it was an thrifty, excellent stay, and I highly recommend it.
