Great check in but they don't tell you about the $150.00 deposit until you check in. They still haven't released it to us too.

The location was good. The price was good. Nice setting deer on grounds in evening. There were not enough towels In the room for the reserved number of guests. Some towels looked off-color. The phone didn't ring the desk. There was no blow dryer or iron. No in-room coffee. Only coffee in office during specific morning hours. It was difficult to catch the desk person, she was friendly.

Great Stay, thank you!
Was a really nice place to stay, really scenic. Has a nice little stream in the back where people were fishing and some deer came and visited us while we were there.

The room was basic, yet clean and the beds were comfortable. Great value for the price. I would stay there again for sure. One part that could be improved would be the smell of marijuana that was persistent in the hallways and even our room.
