The room was clean and big too, the bathroom was small but not a big deal, the only thing I did notice that we did not have a hair dryer which was a bummer. Overall It was really functional nice and clean I would for sure away here again.

Very comfy beds and newly remodeled room interior. One thing they forgot however is a dinette set. A kitchen without a place to eat your tasty vitals makes no sense.

24th celebration

I love the proximity to lava and the ability to cook in the room. You may just want to run a hair snake down the shower drain. I love this place and I’m already planning my next trip there.

Would definitely stay here again

The rooms are super cute and you can park right by the door to your room. It’s a super small town with no amenities so make sure you have everything you need. The kitchenette was stocked and nice to have, it was tucked in the corner with plenty of space in the rest of the room.

I loved the setup of this room. I would have preferred a king but they were all booked… the only complaints I have are the train right next to the property and the front doors were really hard to open and close. Other than that it was clean quiet (besides the train) and it was a much homier feel ran than hotel feel. I’d definitely stay here again and we had a good trip!

Very reasonable for a weekend stay. It was an easy drive to activities we wanted to do in the area. The room was neat and clean. Loved having a kitchenette. The staff was very quick to respond to our questions. I would recommend the property.

I was surprised to see we had a kitchen in our unit. Made it great to feed the kids& i appreciated that one of the beds was in a room. There is no heating in the bathroom so it got pretty cold in there but other than that our stay was great. I would recommend some better seating, my father in law is old& was uncomfortable when we were around the table. The unit was very clean& provided what we needed for the night

Check in great. They called me when we were coming in late giving instructions to get in room. Got in late. Older property. Walked across floors with white socks. Socks were dirty from floors. Room was ok otherwise. Beds were comfortable. Shower pressure nice. Not a bad stay for the money, just older property.

Cute and cozy inside.

The outside is deceiving. The inside is cute, remodeled and cozy. Our deadbolt wouldn’t lock (room 7) and we didn’t like that but it was a good place to stay passing through. There is no front desk but you just call the number from online and they tell you what to do.

The train can be quite annoying, but the location and price were great if you are wanting to go to Lava and aren't looking to camp. Check in was a bit confusing, as there is no on site office, but staff answered quickly and were very helpful. The full kitchen was a great feature and all amenities were up to date. Having a roku in the room was a great feature for my kids. I wish it was easier to get new towels and soaps. Otherwise, I would give it 5 stars.
