It was good for the price although I would like to see a tea kettle or something in the room so we could have tea in the morning without having to go out for it. The beds were only ok as we are seniors with back issues. We did not really sleep well.

Owner's were terrific. There was a lot of junk, old cars, tvs, etc. laying around. Saturday night was really noisy with some party going on at one of the cottages...made it difficult to sleep. While the cottage was old, it was clean. The towels and dishes could use an uodate...but we can't complain. Other than the racket on Saturday night, we enjoyed our stay.
