"It is a spacious cabin with a functional kitchen. The cabin is located in a good spot and is close to restaurants etc. The amenities were good. Close to the lake the area around the cabins is nice. Parking was easy and allocated to each cabin. The rooms smelled musty which was off putting and overall the cabin was not particularly clean. The furniture is dated and some were falling apart. You have to lug your luggage from the parking area. There is no one to greet you or show you around as you have to just pick up the keys and figure the rest on your own. The key to the door did not work well as the lock likely is old and took a fair amount of attempts each time just to open the door."
