Called and emailed for two weeks prior to stay with no responses back from property. Drove 15 hours to arrive and not have accommodation. Lacked communication to let us know we didn’t have anywhere to stay. Didn’t supply the service of accommodation and are still not able to be reached regarding refund of cost of stay.

Loved location and how clean everything was. Could use some sprucing up with regards to the game rooms. Could use a big light at the playground and fire pit. Wifi didn't work very well but thats small potatoes (no pun intended) to everything else that is great about this place.

Great location. Pool was not open which was a major disappointment as that was one of the main reasons we booked there.

Two decades out-dated

This place is very outdated. The pool, which was why we booked, was broken and looked like it had been broken for at least a year. The beds sagged and need to be replaced. My husband was forced to sleep on the pull out sofa as the beds were so bad. The velor bath towels all need to go - they don't dry you at all. The extra sleeping blankets reeked like cat pee. We took our two teens there and thought with the pool it would be great - sadly disappointed.
