"All the little touches really add up to a very nice day. It's decorated very nice, everything is super clean. There's a Keurig coffee maker with pods, cups and dishes, a mini fridge and microwave. The AC worked very well. There's a TV with all kinds of choices. It's very well thought out. We will definitely stay here again as we love coming to this area. But I think next time I'm going to bring a foam pad for my side of the bed. It was a little stiff for me. Plenty of blankets and pillows, even a few snacks. My husband loved the chair. We were on motorcycles and the road to get there is paved, so that's a plus. We really liked the privacy of it. It's very quiet there and secluded."
