This place is more like a camp ground. The house was a double wide trailer. I had to clean out the light over the kitchen table, the dead bugs were disgusting. Dead bugs all over the window sills. Beds were hard and the pillows were thin. There were a few good points. The water was hot, and the air conditioner worked perfectly. Location to Holiday World was very close. ##### Cathy S.
