We were visiting friends in town and just wanted somewhere to lay our heads. Beds were firm but not hard. In our room there were 3 different types of pillows on each bed. Very clean and updated. Easy check in and out Worked perfect for what we needed and the price was great as well

The good - it was clean, relatively quiet at night (it's directly on highway 9), & hot water in the shower. There was a nice effort to make the cabin look rustic. Weathered old wood for the trim (though the carpentryleft a lot to be desired and more than a few trim pieces missing) and nice baskets for the towels. The not so good - Let's start with an office that's apparently not used and evidently always closed. The only way you can "reach" anyone is to have to call this phone number which they do not answer. Oh, and BTW, they they also will never return your phone calls. Seriously, how do they expect to make money at this place when the Service is non-existent? The 100 or so ladybugs inside the cabin falling on you, esp while you're trying to sleep I guess was somewhat cute, but a little annoying. You have to be your own handyman to fix the numerous things here - as the Bathroom mirror was at a 20° angle. You have to relocate the power cord to the TV so it doesn't constantly get pinched in the door jam. There's a very small night stand next to one of the beds and because there's no room in this cabin you can'not close the bathroom door because it strikes the night stand. Let's see, the refrigerator was at a 10° tilt and would not open easily as its door hinge doesn't fit. Again, it was clean. The beds well tucked, overall average comfort. In summary: This place could use some TLC from the owners. Kudos to the cleaning staff.

The outside and inside window was filthy with cobwebs and dirt. When we went into our room it was full of ladybugs the ceiling and everything else was covered. There were so many flies. We did not have Wi-Fi, so the TV did not work at all. Did not want to use the beds due to all of the bugs in the room. There were so many stains on the rug tiles. The upstairs people were so loud walking around, no sleep for us. We were so grossed out....never again.

Clean, average comfortable beds. Small shower but plenty of hot water. Our TV wouldn't turn on, but could be a remote battery issue. Didn't really matter, we arrived late and just needed a place to sleep. There's a good bar/restaurant in a big barn just down the road at a camping area. Very friendly people, good pizza and drinks!
