So i reserved this about 3 weeks prior to my stay, so there was PLENTY enough time to call me to switch cabins. Or allow me to decide if I wanted to stay there with the dangers and issues My son had a 4 day overnights field trip nearby and he has special needs so I had to rent a cabin nearby to pick him up and drop him off DAILY as he could t spend the nights with his classmates due to his disability so I was relying on having a landline the school could call me at. They told me AFTER I got there and checked in and paid that”oh yea, that chalet has an electrical problem after I complained about the phone not working! The front desk was so casual like no big deal and didn’t even try to get me in a cabin with a working phone. 2nd issue after urinating in the bathroom and flushing, an enormous amount of water overflowed all over and when I told the office, they said they would send maintenance over. Hours later someone came only to throw towels down and simply turn off the water. No mopping or disinfecting! The NEXT day in the MIDDLE of the day he returned but with another guy, they finally fixed it and took the day old sopping wet towels out WITHOUT CLEANING or DISENFECTING the toilet or the floor! So it smelled so bad, the entire stay and we actually ended up leaving a whole day early because of that. It smelled too bad. The dining/living room area also had exposed wiring ripped up carpet. I have pics&videos to prove this. Why are the renting rooms that have ELECTRICAL hazard

There was feces on the bathroom wall. the floor was moist sticky and turned your feet/socks black and it was carpet. The heater didnt work well so was cold. All the walls and doors were covered in greese and grime and hair dye. Around the bottom of the shower door was pubic hair. Now what was good was the bedding was clean, towels were clean and counters were clean.

It could use some updating, but overall nice. Beds and pillows were amazing. No secure internet ; was disappointing. Internet service was poor. Was not able to do zoom meeting. It was quiet, and priced reasonably, would definitely stay there again (if I didn’t have to work 😉 the front office girls were helpful and kind. Thank you

The staff were great for the most part (Cheryl was very grouchy, rude and short with us on the phone). The rooms walls were disgusting, the floors were not clean. The carpets haven’t been washed or shampooed in what smells like years. The phone was caked in what looked like grease and dirt. I went to change the liner in the trash can and it was covered in black mold. The price was way too high for what they have for rooms. Which is a shame. It can be a very nice place if they invested in it a bit more.

Hopeful thinking.

The hotel is situated in a beautify estate. All my friends and families love to stay here and also enjoy the breakfast. No so anymore, the restaurant is closed and the hotel room is dated. The toilet is filthy when we checked in. We call for the service. The service is not prompt, so we have clean up by ourself because we have to use it soon. I sure hope the management will do some improvement to get this beautiful place back to a desirable place to stay.

Fine if you want to be “unplugged.”

Our room was comfortable and the location was great but the Wi-fi was basically non-existent and, when we finally wanted to watch the Weather Channel, the TV didn’t work.

I have stayed at this property two times. The first time was in the hotel portion, which was clean and very nice. I get their staff five stars!!!! The second time I stayed I rented out a cabin. Sherena Has five star customer service and deserves a raise she is awesome and so helpful!!! The property is so beautiful and I love all the little walking trails. I really enjoyed the cabin for privacy reasons and it was very cozy and Homie. Looking forward to the new pool remodel. This will be a secret spot I go to for many years to come thank you so much Sherena for all your help!! ❤️

Bad service

When I was checked in I was assigned to & given a room key for one of their cabin rooms. I didn’t reserve this type of room, but when I questioned it the girl said it was correct. It was rainy and dark and when I first drove up, the porch light was off which made it difficult to navigate the path to the cabin as well as the porch and getting inside. I left my belongings in the front room and left for the event I was attending in Nevada City. At around 1am I returned to my room to find that my key didn’t work. I drove back to the office and was made to stand outside in the cold and rain while a different clerk tried to tell me that I wasn’t checked in to that cabin. Even tho I had the key with the number written on the key holder! Then I found out that the checked someone else into my cabin. When those people entered and saw my belongings, they went back and reported this. I didn’t receive a phone call or any communication letting me know about their error. And when I showed up I was made to feel like I was the one who made a mistake. But they let someone else in a room that had my belongings in it & I was mad. To top it all off, I reserved and paid for a room with a King bed…this cabin had a Queen. I’ve stayed at this hotel before with no issues, but I’m not sure if I’ll go back. There was no apology given by the night clerk and his attitude that I was somehow in the wrong was incredibly rude and insulting.
