We were expecting to have a bathroom in our cabin but the showers and bathrooms are shared on the property in a separate building. Also, the neighbors next to the property had dogs barking all night long, was hard to fall asleep. Other than that the service was really good, but we did have to pay extra to use the bbq.

This is an interesting overnight stop. Bearing in mind, the theme is based on 'campng', there are no usual amenities such as luxury bedding. No water in the room. no in room bathing or toilet facilities. However, if you arrive with the right mindset, you will enjoy the location and views. Just bring your own soap and other luxuries

The cabin had everything we needed; small fridge, coffee maker, heater, and a fan. There was a fire pit and some chairs, as well as wood for purchase. The kindling was a bit large (we didnt have an axe) but we were able to make a nice fire regardless. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Very affordable pricing as well!

It was very nice and quiet was a little disappointing at first as the ad didn’t state there was two lofts the one I booked we didn’t get, but the loft with cottage the second one we got, the view was excellent and we loved it. Just wish the ad stated both is all. But definitely loved the stay the management and customer service is excellent! Very nice camping ground !
