There should be ceiling lights. The place is very dark. The lamps use up the outlets, and using an extension cord is just not good. The stairs are up to the bedroom steep, unsafe at night going down to the restroom. The upstairs beds are not accessible from the interior and it’s hard to cool the loft. A Murphy bed is a good option under the stairs. The rock stairs outside and the wood stairs are not conducive to bringing in luggage. The round toilet needs changed to oval/elongated for the guys. Not a good set up for the gentlemen in my family. Would be good to have some other breakfast options, eggs protein or something. Sausage gravy is nice though. Staff is amazing and I loved seeing little Jewell at the front desk. Nice family place.

We had a wonderful stay with our family of 6! The space was perfect. Could have a little more lighting inside. Very accommodating! The closing time of 8:00 for the pool and hot tub was disappointing. It didn’t allow us much time after a day of exploring/sights and dinner.

Perfect location for all of the attractions! Cute little town with several dining options! Front desk was friendly and accommodating! Our cabin was clean and surrounded by woods which we loved! The only thing is they are not queen beds wish we would have brought a blow up mattress for a little more sleeping comfort! They may have had cots available but we never asked!
