The bunk room is only any good for children sleeping as too hard for most adults and there is not much soundproofing from room to room but nice place with excellent outdoor area. Great parking. Fantastic lawn area for playing games. ##### Kim D.

Kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to prepare our meals. It would have been nice if the master bath had had another entrance so we didn't have to go through the bedroom to get to it. That was awkward. Another suggestion would be to add some small side tables in the family room so there is room to set a coffee cup. Bean bags were nice and got used a lot! ##### LuAnn P.

Oct 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Everything was great except a few handles and knobs missing here and there and the bottom leg of one of the bunks was cracked/broken which made the bunk unstable so noone could sleep on the top. Could do with having a proper coffee table and couches not quite so wide and low. I couldn't sit in them because bad for back and all the others found the couches awkward to sit in too. All else good and great for charging ebikes. ##### Mary-Louise S. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark C.
