Enjoyable stay with good access to hikes and national forest. No WiFi so need to factor that in.

Dirty laundry?
We were surprised to find a stack of dirty laundry on the washing machine. We did have time to wash the towels and sheets before we needed them. We left a folded stack of clean sheets and towels and a load in the dryer for the next renters.

Place was nice and tidy and clean. Smaller than what was depicted in the photos. What was a let down was we had to make our own beds, sheets and pillow cases were in a drawer we had to go looking through. Also, there was no oil or baking paper. Overall it was a nice place to stay

Family weekend away
Lovely compact tidy bach. Well equipped. Close to town. Parking - only just enough for 2 cars. Liked the modern decor. There are 10 units in complex, it was hard to spot in the dark. The shower over bath screen was tiny making it difficult for taller people to shower without getting water everywhere. Also made cleaning difficult. Otherwise a lovely stay
