8.0
Cottages are clean with pleasant decor, but they could use some minor upgrades. Some of the parking spaces could be a little larger. Reasonably priced. This is a safe, quiet place to relax in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains. Hometown feel with lots of interesting attractions, like the sculptures in the park, and if course the PA Grand Canyon.
8.0
Inexpensive, just what we needed and dog friendly. Lost power in the middle of the night which was a little rough. It's about time to replace the mattresses and/or box springs. I thought I'd roll out with the sag on my side of the bed
8.0
Clean, friendly & quite. What more can you ask for. 9 mile drive to PA Grand canyon. Less then a mile to downtown where you'll find good food and historic sites. I'd stay here again.
