. Cabin 28 is nice Bedroom window was propped open with a stick. Screen has to be removed to open or close window. Some windows have no locks. Welcome Matt is ripped and a tripping hazard. We finally moved it to the side to make it safe and not trip as we did a few times. Needs to be replaced. All things that could easily be fixed with some attention. Great little cabin

Live music at the Lean To. Otherwise for a price of around $350 it was disappointing, and the room description was misleading. There was no one at the desk, although they did answer text inquiries in a reasonable time frame. Still an actual person would be better, especially since the front desk is said to be open until 5 pm.

The price was way too high. The toilet in our room had a messed up flush handle. I was very glad that the property is pet friendly, however would suggest the pet area be mowed. The room was very hot, but the a/c was so loud we had to shut it off to sleep. The breakfast was a nice idea, but wasn't replenished so we had coffee and a granola bar. I recently stayed in Lancaster PA and paid a third of the cost and had a real breakfast (eggs, waffles, sausage, muffins, toast, fruit, ceral, juice)included in the price.

A "new" desk clerk was very helpful when I needed to change my departure date. When that change was made, however, my nightly rate increased by $25/night. When I inquired about the change, the manager did not contact me but tasked the "new" employee with trying to explain the reason for the upcharge. The explanation made no sense. Suggest that large boulders in parking lot be illuminated at night.

The location is sublime. View is beautiful as is the property. Room was very small and could be a bit cleaner. Good first visit to this area. Will probably look at other properties next time.
