Rustic but nice

The property is in a great location. Cabins are pretty much original but they are well maintained and clean; just old. Our group had a great time there and everyone agreed they would go back.

Great retreat. Property could use better upkeep

Overall a good stay. Some of the instructions to access cabins were incorrect, and some cabins needed to be recleaned after we arrived. The property has an out of service pool and hot tub that are real eyesores, but otherwise we had a good experience.
