"The place was great. Very comfortable and well outfitted. It's in a neighborhood, down a short dirt road, no driveway, you will need to park on the street and leave room for neighbor to get to their driveway gate. There are stairs down to the door (not wheelchair accessible). Not a big deal, just a note if you're bringing a lot of stuff or more than 1 car it will be tight."
