"Travelers need to be aware that most restaurants and bars are closed in the off season. There are only a few activities in the off season. The cabins were cute and the sauna was great. Be careful with parking as you may get blocked in some tight spaces at the assigned cabin spots. Overall, a good overnight stay but wouldn’t recommend more than two nights."
