8/10 Good
"Overall, our two-room suite was pretty good. The bed in the living room was fairly comfortable, but the two beds in the separate bedroom were older and very springy, so they weren’t as comfortable. Our biggest concern was that the smoke detector was completely missing from the room. We only stayed one night, but if we had been staying longer, I would have asked someone to come out and install one. Unfortunately, there isn't anybody on property or at the office available to speak with, so since we were only there for a short time, we decided not to pursue it. One of the best parts of the stay was being right next to the little river. The setting was beautiful and peaceful, which we really enjoyed. Overall, the location and scenery were lovely, but the missing smoke detector was a significant safety concern that should be addressed."
