Derek was awesome to work with, helped with any and all accommodations needed. The place itself was big enough to sleep our entire group (15)and more and one of the cooler layouts you’ll ever stay in.

The space fit our needs perfectly. We had about 20 folks in town for a tree climbing competition at a nearby park. The rooms and outdoor space was perfect for the group, ample parking space!
