All and all, for an older unit, the stay was not bad, the neighbors were great and it was peaceful aling with a beautiful view. We would like to stay there again."

"Wonderful location, across the road from the mountain and the stream and an old barn. It literally feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. The bedrooms were well appointed, plenty of towels and sheets. There's also a washer and dryer in the kitchen. The hallway light was full of bugs and impossible for us to find the switch to turn it off. The front door is in serious need of repair. The property manager is woefully unskilled at her job."
