Jun 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good Place and Location This was a good place to stay while visiting the area. No frills, but if you are looking for a simple place with the necessities, I would suggest here. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could need! The refrigerator/freezer were not turned on when we arrived, so we had to get ice to keep our food cold while we waited (that was an inconvenience, but not earth shattering). It is super close to the NOC which was why we were there, so that was great! The hot tub was nice and hot. ##### Kristy H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brian E. Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Gem This property is as listed. Everything was great and the only issue we had was the tv would not work. We normally wouldn't care but it was raining part of our trip so we was stuck inside. We messaged the maintenance and still have not had a reply its not a big deal but had we had a major issue it would have been. I still recommend this place for a good stay. ##### Brian E.
