It wasnt horrible but when we arrived ashtrays outside where overflowing. Our bathroom looked newer but had black stuff at the bottom of the shower. There was also a funny but not terrible smell when you first open the door. Needs some airing out.

The room was clean and newly renovated. The bathroom was amazing! Rain showerhead and 2 other massaging heads. Very neat mirror where you could change the lighting with a tap. Bed was a little too firm, would have liked an extra pillow.

Updated bathroom was nice. There was no ice or regular sized glasses for a drink. Had to go up the street for ice. Also no iron or ironing board.

The place was basically clean, albeit with mold developing in shower and bathroom floor. The only pillows provided were the pillow shams (so who knows when the sham covers had last been cleaned.) When we went to the office to ask for pillows, there was no one there and no way to contact anyone. When we asked for suggestions about food, the person in the office told us that he was vegetarian and so had no idea. And there were at least 2 clothes rods, but no hangars a and no hooks other than the hook for a bathrobe by the shower. We managed, but Expedia would be advised to review the places that they offer, or at least rate them!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin for 1 night. The cabin could be cute and has a good layout but it was in poor condition with a very bad musty/moldy smell. The stove had rust all over it and the bathroom was filthy with a disgusting tub/shower with so much mold on the shower curtain it needed to be thrown away. All the floors were filthy and sticky and the scatter rug in the living room area needed a good shampooing. Even the towels were not bright white and have seen better days and need to be replaced or bleached. The love seat was stained and sticky. Overall for the price, it was bit worth it and it is too bad because it could be a very cute place with more upkeep and care and it has potential. The cabin had a deck which would be a positive but the furniture that was on it did not appear to be safe to use. It seemed rotten and might collapse if sat in and filthy.

Like, you must be kidding, it was the dirty. slow running washroom sink, the toilet had to be flushed several times it was used, more than 2 or three light bulbs burned out, just a waste of time bringing it to their attention and to top it off, I know the people who had the property before the present owners and it was a five star place to stay, Shame on them for running. it to the state it is now
