8/10 Good
"The facility is beautiful. The condo had everything for a comfortable stay. Negatives were there was no extra toilet paper & Kleenex. No safety bars in the shower. The locks on the doors accidentally lock which could be a problem. The garage was a disaster. We had to go down to the office or call the office because the garage codes and clickers didnโ€™t work. The light in the master BR stopped working so we had a light on all night. They did repair it the next day. I felt we should have a reduction in our payment for all the time we had to spend with the issues. All in all we loved the facility. So convenient to the Village. ."

"This is a new renovation which is still in progress; it will only get better! The owner was on site during our stay and could not have been more accommodating. You can tell that "pet friendly" was part of the thinking during the renovation. In fact, there was no charge to bring our golden retriever. The room is laid out very simply with a minimal amount of fabric in the furnishings. When you walked into the room it smelled like red cedar. Location is excellent with only a very short walk to town. All systems are modern and worked very efficiently."
