"We were there with our three kids. If you have travelled with three kids, you know the worst part is sharing a bathroom with them. The bathroom started out very clean, and there were plenty of towels. We had two beds and a pull-out couch, and there was generally enough space. If you want to cook, the front desk will give you a hot plate; we ultimately chose not to cook, but the kitchen part had most basic equipment. The shower had the shampoo, conditioner, and soap on the wall, so if your kid...

"This property is very unique in that it is a secure gated compound surrounded by a security fence and requires a code to enter. (Use the phone number in the gate if you don’t have the code…the office answers promptly). Once inside the compound, the registration office is also unique as it is constructed of shipping containers. The facility is divided into two sections, one a full service RV park and the other rows of mobile homes. Each Mobil Home contains 4 rooms with a shared kitchen and...

"Fine property but several inconveniences. Upstairs shower is very small, not usable for any adult or teenager, so expect to only have one shower. Additionally main shower head is damaged and has a significant leak out the bottom of the head. No kitchen trash bags or paper towels were provided so we had to go buy some. Overall it was good for a weekend stay where we weren't at the house much."
