I did not have any difficulty finding the place, it just s perfectly visible off the main road.The inside is very spacious. Super clean. We enjoyed treats made available by owner. It was like they provided every toiletry I could think of. Drove to the river with the family and had a beautiful place to rest in. I can only say good things, we really enjoyed our stay.
