For a weekend getaway it’s a fair price. Not too far from home. We had some noisy neighbors that didn’t go to bed until late night.

Loud & Dirty
The check-in was easy and friendly. However the property needs maintenance and a deep cleaning and the door lock was tricky. Chipping paint, very dusty and black mold in the shower. Being right next to the road you can hear EVERY car tire roll by
