• "Had no issues finding a spot - about 5 nice shady spots with short trails to the water. Be warned, a mouse made home from this location and was a pita to remove before he ate lots of curry powder and tissues. First time in 9 months having a rodent issue. I’d stay again for sure, but would be more careful in closing everything up. Bear box had gifts with was a big plus!"
