Family Weekend

We've stayed at this property two years in a row now, and it was just as perfect as the first time. Having a bedroom, the living room, kitchen, and game room all on the main level is something we find hard to come by for our extended family gatherings, and this location was perfect. Great location, quiet, easy to find, and super clean.

It has plenty of bedrooms with an actual bed for everyone (not a sleeper sofa etc..). The game room was a hit for everyone especially the Pac Man video game. I asked for more firewood to be delivered and management responded immediately. We will definitely return to this unit.
