This is the kind of place you only stay at if you absolutely have to! The heater didn’t work and the blankets were paper thin so we froze. The TV had no remote control and had lines running through the picture. It’s sad because it was Thanksgiving it wasn’t that inexpensive so I’m very disappointed :( we would have been better off sleeping on the floor at my parents house!

Everything was fine. Property was somewhat dated, but mostly clean. Good stay for a couple of days.
Nice little spot, better than I expected, it's old but suited out needs for one night.
