Great Location for Springs

The home was comfortable and clean. Carpet in living room was a little stained, but rest of home was clean and nicely stocked with everything we needed. Home is great place to stay if you are looking for an affordable stay close to Silver Glen, Salt and Alexander Springs. Beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
