    The name is listed as a resort and is nothing more than a camp site and a cabin. The room had no running water, and the bathrooms were in the middle of the camp grounds. The listing was for 7 beds, and there were only 5. The bunk beds had to share one ladder, and on the futon did not open. There was no door or partition to change privately in the cabin. The coffee maker was dirty and under the beds and in the corners were definitely not cleaned often. It was ok but this is NOT in any way a resort.

    It was a beautiful location with a mountain view

    It was a bed and a room....but not worth the cost.

    The room that we stayed in had not been cleaned in weeks despite the tip card that said Tiana had been cleaning it regularly. Her card was yellowed and wrinkled appearing it had gotten wet and had been there for (at least) weeks. There were dead spiders and bugs in the corner behind the bathroom door, there were spiders, dust, and lint under the table, under the bed, around the wall fixtures, etc. It was pretty gross. Showering kinda freaked me out. I would say it wasn't worth the cost of the room.

    The staff at the front office was pleasant. The pool looked nice although I didn't use it. The community bathroom looked decent although I didn't use that either.

    The room we reserved was falsely advertised on booking.com. on the website it claimed that the room had a bathroom with a shower and a toilet. Unfortunately it had neither. When I spoke to the lady at the counter she said that she had messaged me and told me that the room didn't have a bathroom or shower. I told her that she messaged me after I had paid already and that it didn't make sense. Then she told me that "booking.com's template" didn't allow her to advertise the room correctly. If booking.com supposedly kept them from advertising the room correctly then it shouldn't be on booking.com. they had no remorse for the inconvenience they had caused and didn't even offer a different room. This made our stay very stressful. We should've been refunded for the first night. We were able to switch rooms the next day. But the first night should've been refunded.

    The view and location were amazing

    This place is completely run down and there is no pride of ownership. Picnic tables were rotting, Bees and wasps everywhere including all around and in the pool!! Description of the location of the bathrooms is incorrect. The cottages are not as described! Bathrooms were not clean.

    The location is great.

    There was no internet in our room, so my son was not able to do his school work . However, you can go to the front office area and get some connection. We were also aware that internet service was not available near cabins and were fine with that.

    We enjoyed our cabin, and the kids loved the pool. Our room was clean and comfortable and fit our family of 8. The staff were very nice and helpful. The bathrooms were clean as well. We enjoyed our stay. Remember, it's camping, not a hotel.

    Carpets may need replaced as they were sticky and our feet got dirty walking barefoot. Lighting wasn't very good in the livingroom/kitchen and bathroom. Wifi was not very good when it was working. Adults didn't care so much as the kids did with the wifi. Mattress in one bedroom was hard and we didn't get much sleep on it.

    Nice size cabin. We brought an air mattress since we had 6 people and the futon wasn't that big for two people. It was secluded and very private. Staff were excellent with helping fix wifi when it wasn't working.
