July 2026

So many things not right about this place. Infested with ants, dog bowl was filled with them after being on the floor for 15 minutes! The fridge really wasn't working, had to put perishables in the freezer. The freezer had not ice and or ice trays! The whole house is very dated and just doesn't feel clean. Not a match, fire starter or anything to light a fire. The utensils and cookware were so old and soiled! Was going to use the jacuzzi but the patio was filthy with no cushions on any of the outdoor furniture! And the house is very dark overall. Not a fun weekend at all!

Durying our trip to property we were told we had to go some other location because property we chose was not available and we were sent to Glen property. Hot tub did not work for 3 of our 4 days and that was the main thing we wanted while searching for a place to stay.

From the moment walked in it felt like home! Our host was so helpful, making sure we had anything we needed! People in previous post complained about the hot tub but it was warm and perfect for our November stay!!! We made ribs on the grill and gathered in the living room for an acoustic guitar jam! A perfect weekend, which demands a sequel! Can't wait to book again!
