"The inside is updated and nice, as is the outside of the building. The wood door really should be replaced as it lacks security and privacy. The shade covering the door window is ripped and no longer fits so we hung toilet paper on the sides for more privacy. The unit is decorated nicely; maybe an area rug would give it more of a homey/welcoming feeling. Price was excellent. "

"Everything was well maintained, we didn't spend much time on the grounds, but it was a quaint, clean quiet property. We saw .mini golf and Barbecue grills with picnic tables on the green space within the confines of the drive and parking lot. There was some hail damage that was being repaired. The roof was freshly re-shingled, and replacement windows were on the way for the office. In the room the water was instantly hot, and was very hot, at that.the tub was quite slippery, but...

"My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights while we went snowboarding at Crystal Mountain. I couldn't ask for a better place to stay for the price. It was very clean when we arrived, and I was surprised at how much room there was for more guests if needed. The pool table and hot tub was what we were looking forward to and it did not disappoint.
