Our stay was great. It was perfect with our young kids. Being able to sit, relax and watch our kids from the cabin deck while they played in the playground was what everyone needed.

Great spot. The space is amazing for the price. Friendly staff.
Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Owner's were terrific. There was a lot of junk, old cars, tvs, etc. laying around. Saturday night was really noisy with some party going on at one of the cottages...made it difficult to sleep. While the cottage was old, it was clean. The towels and dishes could use an uodate...but we can't complain. Other than the racket on Saturday night, we enjoyed our stay.
Jo-Anne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice and quiet.
Maria, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms but the buildings are in very poor shape and the furniture and appliances are very, very old and worn.
Russell, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Owner is super lovely, friendly, chatty. Room is very clean, pool was in excellent condition and water quite warm and pleasant. Overall 5 star rating from us!
Maria-Cristina, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Property is badly in need of a upgrade... people are friendly but the rooms themselves are dated and unappealing.
Vern, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The owners are super friendly and accommodating. The cottages were nice and very clean. The only thing is they need either some fans or window A/C units.
