Loved our family tome

We really enjoyed our stay, the location was great and the cabin was comfortable, however the carpet in the bedrooms is pretty dated and stained. And the floor in the kitchen was sticky. All in all we enjoyed our stay and realize the difficulty of maintenance with multiple guest, so a different floor type could be considered besides carpet.

Hemlock #1 was amazing! The only problems were that it was very hard to figure out how to get to in the dark. Parking was an issue for us since I have mobility problems. You have to park above or below the unit and walk to it. That would have been good to know when trying to find it in the dark.

Low key accommodations but super experience

This was a much older property with shared common spaces. The checkin process and location was not very clear, however, this was undermined by the activities and the restaurant on the grounds which were incredible.

Expensive for the condition.

A little expensive for what you get. Definitely was not crowded, so might be time to consider lowering the price.

At first the communication with the company was great very easy payment. When walking into the cabin it smelled terrible like something died in there. It also was so many fruit flies and stink bugs everywhere most alive some dead. Me and my family went to the closest store to get bug spray and candles. As the next day came I tried calling them no one answered the calls so therefore horrible cabin.

Overall, the stay was satisfactory, however there are improvements that could be made. Firstly, the check-in process was unclear, and the phone number provided wasn't available on the weekends (when we were staying). Secondly, the overall cleanliness needed some attention; there were cobwebs along the ceiling in both the bathroom and bedroom. Thirdly, the mattress is something to be desired. It was one of the most uncomfortably firm beds we've slept on, leaving us with back pain in the morning.
