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.
The property is close to shops and is pet friendly.

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.
lovely pool and play area for families. we rented a cottage which had a mini kitchen so very handy for making a meal. in room coffee machine, microwave, fridge, stove etc. lovely view from windows looking out at the water. very quiet and well maintained property.
It was beautiful area , clean , owner was very nice , pool was just updated , lots of clean towels , cabin had everything we needed , only thing was and we knew before trip only double bed , Queen would have been nice , but all around great trip , wouldn't think twice about another stay
Helpful staff,,very good for stay close to the nature..
