The people managing the property are very kind! I had a small issue with my room but they quickly reallocated me and, by chance, to a larger and better accomodation. Although it was due to the limited availability, they were kind enough to let me use it for my entire stay!

The only thing I could say is that some of the room's appliances and dishes/cups/cutlery were a bit dirty and had to clean them first to use. But I was ok with it due to the quick reallocation process. Otherwise, all beds/bathrooms/kitchen tabletops were fine.

The Pine Panelled Meadows suite was beautiful and spacious. The patio in back was completely private. The property needs some exterior maintenance, such as repainting of peeling woodwork. The exterior was well cared for. The manager was hospitable, though doing double duty as room cleaner, so I had to track her down in order to check in.

The toilet paper holder in the bathroom kept falling off. There was large dog dooky on the patio.

We booked late because our scheduled accommodations were not a working solution for my disabled son. They stated they were fully booked until I told them we booked on line. It was very scenic, the view was amazing and the staff was very nice and did their best to accommate us.

I think it was a room the staff used to work out of. There was a bin for dirty cleaning rags and the washer was full of them. There were no clean towels in the room and we had to wait to get showered. It was very dated but was clean and comfortable.

Spacious clean room. Had good sized fridge.

Kitchen was a bit sparsely kitted out but we were only there for one night so it wasn't a big issue.

Very cozy, spacious clean cabin. Excellent location! Walking distance to the river, next to the brewery, close to town with restaurants bars and attractions (fly fishing school, river rafting and more).

No complaints !

The room was large with a separate kitchenette, dining area and living room. The pool was well maintained. Located close to food, gas station, grocery store, and short walk to downtown.

We loved the swimming pool and the staff was very accommodating. Our room was way more than we expected, really amazing. The location was great and it was very quiet.

Nothing really. The AC went on the blink temporarily, then very soon working fine.

The shower in our room never got warm.
