I stayed in the "tree top"building at the right rear of the property. It is well maintained, very clean, and has lots of hot water with good pressure for the shower. Comfortable queen bed. Plenty of blankets, towels, tissue paper, coffee maker, etc. I do have two minor complaints: Room #6 had an additional bunk bed with a angled 2"X6" leg that stuck out quite a ways. As such it is a "toe stubber," that got my right foot twice. Ow! :( The re-fridge had not been defrosted in quite a while, so the freezer compartment was completely filled with frost. I was unable to use it to refreeze my cooler packs. Otherwise, it was an thrifty, excellent stay, and I highly recommend it.

Clean and comfortable. Non lumpy beds and enough pillows! Short rides to good places to eat and sites to see. Only problem- I didn't know how the self check in worked. I didn't know to check my email for directions. Figured it out when I called the number on the outside of the airbnb then I saw that I had a message. The person who called me back was very nice. Definitely would stay there again

Excellent value for your dollar. We stayed in a family room. Things we really liked- quiet, nightlight in bathroom, generous space for luggage by bathroom, hot water galore and great shower pressure. Things we didn't like-Double bed with bunk overhead mattress is a bit uncomfortable. Freezer was not usable due to ice build up. And the 'queen' bed was a double. Enjoyed the hot tub too. All in all we would stay here again.
