cozy and comfortable

beautiful property. cozy cabin. minimum customer service. which is fine. our lovely cabin was clean and so relaxing. back little porch view of the trees and forest which was the vibe we were going for. the deck though was dirty with leaves and i’m thinking bird poop. they should clean and wipe down the furniture that is out doors and straighten them out and get the spider webs in the corner. the toilet paper and towels were alittle in the rough side as well as water pressure in the shower. very quiet property to. loved how they had a walking trail you can do a little. pool look nice was alittle in the cold side so we didn’t get in. coffee in room with a making but no filters, that didn’t make sense. overall we had a good weekend minor little things. we would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay very much, beautiful area and surroundings. We stayed in #61, small and very basic amenities. The bathroom only fits one person at a time, including the shower. Don't leave food on the counter, the ants may enjoy your goodies before you. Located near the road, not too loud and you have your own personal parking space in front. We did enjoy having the pool close by, that's was nice. More lounging chairs is my recommendation, there were people grabbing a table and a lounge chairs. The Peak restaurant was nothing fancy, more like a diner feel with good food and drinks selections. Overall the stay was pleasant and very relaxing. Beautiful place to stay for a long getaway, it truly has everything! If we return we will inquire about other rooms that would have tailored our needs better.

Suggestions: 1. Better labeling of where cottages are located very difficult to find. 2. Helpful if guest are expected to empty their own trash that there be some designated place to leave it. 3. Comfortable beds very personable customer service.

It would be amazing in the future if their restaurant accommodated breakfast or had some kind of continental breakfast or good coffee. The coffee in the rooms was not good. Also, we had a horrific sewer gas smell coming out of our bathroom. Other than those things, the state was great and I would recommend it.
