Great little place

We had a great time. It was a great spot for us while visiting our friends a mile away. The place was clean and inviting. The beds were great. Even being close to the road it was not too loud.

The cottage style hose was nicely appointed and very clean. Beautiful decorations and well laid out. Bathtub in master ran out of hot water quickly so my soak was cut short. Beds were extra firm. Did struggle to plug in my CPAP as no easy to reach plug at night stand, this would be easily fixed with an extension cord by the bedside. Very peaceful and quiet overall. Good window coverings for light black out. Some traffic noise although this doesn’t bother me so didn’t interfere with my enjoyment at all. Enjoyed our stay. Will ask about more hot water option if I stay again.

Love this cabin!

Beautifully decorated, quaint and historic! Wonderful renovation! Love the firepit! Scott and his charming wife at the RV Park are super nice folks. It's difficult to find suggestions for improvement other than perhaps deepening the treads on the steps out back. We love this cabin and plan to return next year! Many thanks, The Stanford Family

I think some care could go into making this more of an experience for guests. There were no games, no brochures for local eateries or wineries or things to do. There was no toiletries--like shampoo or bath soap. I think those amenities could have made the stay better. Little things like places to charge devices would have been thoughtful as well. The place was clean and in a good location especially if you wanted to hop on the Katy Trail.
