Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and really nice! This was a great location for us and we would try to stay here again. The place is super clean, nice beds, great bathrooms. Super simple check in and no issues with check out. We enjoyed our time there. Do note that a huge part of the upstairs is almost like a big landing with lots of beds, so without a door to the lower level its easy to hear most everything downstairs. The main bedroom, however, would work for anyone needing absolute quiet. This wasn't a negative for our group. Would absolutely recommend and return in the future. ##### Carley F.
