El Western Cabins & Lodges

10/10 Excellent
"I liked the space and the grounds were well kept and attractive. The staff was exceptional and very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again. What was less than perfect was the fact that there is no air conditioning although the front staff say installation of A/C is in the works and maybe a year off. we visited when the temperature was in the 90's and it got even hotter a few days after we left. The property is beautiful, especially the back lawn area with creek and water wheel but was not crazy about the cabins proximity to the highway which causes quite noticeable traffic/truck noise. Even so, we enjoyed our stay."
