Was a wonderful stay. Staff were very sweet and amazingly helpful. The cabin was cute. Bed super comfy! The hot tub wasn’t working which is why we wanted to come and the rail on our cabin needs to be fixed but overall, I loved everything about our weekend.

This property was super busy eith tour groups. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room had wonderful beds but otherwise was a pretty normal hotel room with carpeted floors, a coffee maker and fridge. Disappointed that the hot tub, pool and sauna were closed for the season. The pool is outdoors so understandable but the hot tub should have been functional.
