The cabin was clean but very dated. It was orderly and adequate. The property generally seemed to be in a state of disrepair but no real problems. The image shows an active well lit property, it was not, the main building seemed to be abandoned. We did enjoy our stay.

The cabins were very run down and the place didn’t look like anything had been done with it in over a year. The pics on line did not look like this place. I would expect a whole lot better for 250.00. The place looked abandoned.
