"This property is beautiful. The restaurant is amazing. It is an older property so if you have a double unit, or a unit above you it is quite loud. We had a screaming baby next to us, but Sam at the front desk did everything she could to help us. For the 2nd night we were moved to room 17 which is a single cabin and it was incredible. Hard to summarize because the first night was not great, but the 2nd night was unbeatable. Book room number/cabin 17 and you won’t be disappointed."

"Super 8 is a decent less expensive place to stay. The rooms appear to have been recently updated. Our room was very small and crowded with furniture. A few things needed fixing such as the door lock, the shower faucet and there was a shelf sticking out in the vanity area that I hit my head on more than once. But it was clean and fairly quiet."
