The staff is beyond excellent and very kind. Which makes writing a review like this so tough. Our ceiling light didn’t work it was ready to blow so it kept flashing. The floor in our cottage is slanted near the bed and nightstand so the nightstand kept falling forward and our stuff sliding off. The mini fridge was covered in dust and some substance splattered on door. We had them come in and clean twice and they never touched the dirty parts of the room, the fridge included. Dust and cobwebs/dirt behind the tv and the tv is aimed at a wall. So you can’t watch it from the bed. Dirty and dusty on all the bottoms of the walls, nightstand, you name it. Windowsills were dirty. Only room that was clean was bathroom which we did appreciate. The view behind the cottages in the back is a pile of junk/old acs under plastic and two buildings with the siding removed. The swing seen in the pictures is in very rough shape. And the photos showed a bath tub which we were looking forward to but didn’t have. This was our low budget honeymoon and it just really disappointed me the conditions we were sleeping in for the weekend. Again, staff is beyond kind and personable and we loved running into the woman we did see. But it was not clean.

Room was clean and the bed comfortable but the cabin was very dated and shabby, the check in is a bit vague too, the website gives different times to those shown on the hotel door but obviously you can see the sign on the door till you get there! Ring ahead if you going to be late is my advice.

The staff was very nice and the property was set up nice outside of the rooms. Inside the room was horrible. Not sure where to start. Big hole in the wall, and paint chips everywhere with no caulk in any trim. the sink had been moved under the ac and the pipes were still sticking out of the wall where it was. The mirror they put between the ac and sink at such a low area you cant use it. The toilet was so close to the tiny shower you have to step over it to get in; then you cant even bend over to pick anything up if you drop it without hitting your head or elbows... the tv was blue on every channel and the tv settings wouldn't change it. The night stand by the bed was a tv table you use to eat off of at a seat. The floor was very soft at the front door to where it felt like you would fall through it. Not worth 80 dollars
