Ashley

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were helpful and kind. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Our only observation was that the shower door didnt slide properly and there was a hole in the wall. Its not fancy but it was quiet and great for a short-term stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
If you are into rooms that don’t have crumbs on the floor, bedsheets that don’t have stains, blinds that don’t have years of dust caked on them, a couch that isn’t falling apart (and without cigarette burns), towels without holes, a range that doesn’t have food all over it and down the adjacent wall, and more than one of each piece of dish wear and cutlery (for a two-bedroom cabin), don’t stay here.

Stephanie

Liked: Staff & service
Nice area, easily walkable to town center. Nice pool. Great deck on our two bedroom cottage with table, chairs, BBQ. Bedrooms were large. Kitchen was a bit cramped and the bathroom is right off the kitchen which was odd. Old couch was not in great shape. Ok place to stay for a night or two.

Ron

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property and room were not clean. The bed sheets had to be changed because they were gritty. The rugs in the entrance, on the stairs and in our room were filthy and had not been vacuumed in quite some time.

Windows had mould. 2 facecloths 1 had lipstick on it. Stove and bbq filthy not able to use.Don’t let the photos of cottage 15 fool you.The advertising of the place is most likely to be from the previous owners.Lots of damage to numerous parts of cottage.Broken plug covers no shades on bedroom lights and 1 not working.2 night stay only 1 serving of coffee.
