There was a little confusion when getting to the place, but it was cleared up quickly. Any questions or concerns were addressed in a timely manner. I would stay there again.

The place was nice in a great location. The welcome email that was sent was outdated. The shed passcode in the welcome email was wrong and when the owner was contacted for the correct shed passcode she was dismissive. Also, we did let them know we would like to use the kayaks to “get ready” however they were muddy and we had to clean them ourselves before use. But overall it was a nice weekend place to stay.
