Our stay was great. It was perfect with our young kids. Being able to sit, relax and watch our kids from the cabin deck while they played in the playground was what everyone needed.

The owners are super friendly and accommodating. The cottages were nice and very clean. The only thing is they need either some fans or window A/C units.

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.
