Liked: Staff & service
Owner's were terrific. There was a lot of junk, old cars, tvs, etc. laying around. Saturday night was really noisy with some party going on at one of the cottages...made it difficult to sleep. While the cottage was old, it was clean. The towels and dishes could use an uodate...but we can't complain. Other than the racket on Saturday night, we enjoyed our stay.
