From the photos we thought it was going to be individual cabins not a building with all the rooms connected. But still extremely happy with our visit. Would absolutely stay there again.

It was clean and remodeled in a safe location. It is across from a previously flooded area that is not cleaned up yet but that wasn’t too bad. Check in time was later as there was a change in owner. It was easy to find.
The cabin was exactly what we needed for a restful weekend. Upon arrival it was very clean, the parking was sufficient for an our larger pickup, it was nice and quiet. Everything in the cabin worked properly.

The rooms are comfortable, the location is convenient, the property is well maintained and attractive. The owners are friendly and work hard to ensure your stay meets their expectations.
The lodge style is really nice. It's close to midtown and any amenities you might need. The cabin had a nice homely vibe and plenty of space. It's the little things that really bring it together. Book it and see for yourself
