The cabin #30 was clean, the kitchen had everything you needed, however the weather was warm and there was no air conditioner in cabin. When my other half called and asked about it she argued with him that there was one and said she would be right over only to see that there was not. She then brought us a fan. Needless to say our weekend was pretty warm in the cabin. The shower did not drain either we were standing in a pool of water by the time our shower ended other than that cute little cabin and property was clean.

Great little place at a great price
This was a well-priced hotel in the location I was seeking to ride the nearby scenic railroad. The lady at the front desk was ready for my arrival and helped with a tip for a nearby restaurant! The room was clean and had all the amenities to make our stay easy.

The place was very quaint and clean. There was attention to detail with our reservation. We stayed two nights, and they even made our beds on the second day. Something you see any more.

If this is your budget, BOOK NOW!!
We loved our stay in this room, it was budget, yes, BUT it had every single thing we needed. Reception very kind and gave good advice for eating out. Beware - things close early and we did end up using the supermarket on the main road and returning to heat something in the microwave. This was not a problem for us but watch out! loved the look of the cabins and next time will choose one of these. Lovely quiet rural area. Thank you to staff and highly recommend.
