Review: We arrived before noon and check in wasn't until 3.00. They gave us our keys then because we didn't know if we would be back before they closed at 7:30. Our cabin was very nice and suited us just fine. There is a train crossing right next to the cabins and they blow the warning horn/whistle each time. We love trains so it didn't bother us. They do provide ear plugs if you want them. They have a little store and a gas pump there too. Pretty place! Would stay there again., by Steve, August 30, 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent
