Location was close to everything we needed. Possibly some miscommunication with the cleaning crew for our unit. But texted the emailed number and management had a cleaning crew on site within 5 minutes. Would stay here again.

Wonderful property
We loved our stay here. It was very clean and everything was as pictured in the preview. We loved the location being so close to downtown. The fenced backyard was great for our dog. We would have loved to have had Kleenex, a place to put our clothes in the bedroom, a tv in the bedroom, and hooks in the bathroom. These did not ruin our stay by any means, but just things we noticed. The hot tub looked nice, but we didn't use it. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place to get away
Loved everything about our stay! The only thing we thought was confusing was the building/room numbers. When you drive up it was a bit confusing because we didn’t realize there were 3 sets of buildings 1 and 2 and all of them had sets of rooms 201-204 so we spent 15 minutes trying to get into the wrong 204. The customer service was exceptionally helpful and I’m very grateful they were able to help us, but when we explained to them our situation they said this happens all the time (people trying to get into the wrong room. Other than that we loved this stay and would absolutely return!
