Would stay again. Room for improvement.
Neat place to stay. We had 6 people and had a 2 bedroom unit. It was perfect size. Downside was the downstairs bathroom did not have a door that closed. There was something wrong with the top hinge. There was also alot of dog or cat fur on the floor. Our socks were covered. We had to sweep. This is a non-pet place I thought but it was a messy with pet hair so someone before us had a pet in there. The patio was nice we used the grill. Nice kitchen area. Beds were super comfortable which is better than an hotel! Overall would recommend this place. Would recommend the cleaning people vacuum between guests. Even the hard floors/stairs.

Overall this stay was enjoyable. I am assuming no one had stayed in a cabin a bit before us. There were a couple of dead bugs in the curtain area. Along with a centipede in the bathroom. The floor not having any carpet or rugs gor dirty quick and I would have loved to have had a broom to sweep the spots that needed it. The room was quiet and big. It smelled nice and was comfortable. Overall a successful stay.

Fantastic property, very quiet, the neighbors were loud outside and I didn’t hear them at all while inside. I do wish there had been more patio seating. I’m not sure how many it was meant to have as I’m certain the neighbors took several but I suspect there were only a couple chairs at the small table to begin with.

It’s going to look awesome once the landscaping is finished. Free standing buildings with lighted walkways at night. Rooms are very generous size and have patios, nice touch. Only downside was no hair dryer everything else was great!

Nice but not worth the money
The unit was not very clean. The floor was sticky and was dirty. There was glass on the floor in the bathroom that i found with my barefoot. There was hair all over the shower. The drawers in the bathroom were full of hair and were dirty. The property is nice and the beds were super comfortable. You can tell they're brand new and there are some flaws in their construction yet (nails sticking half way out of the baseboards, the wood isn't finished and are rough, could cause an injury). Nice place but prices are quite high!
