I do not recommend staying here. My family and I stayed here and were terrorized throughout the night by the gang of teenagers staying at the ajoining cabin. They were drunk, fighting, swearing, and generally causing my little boy to be so scared he was sick. The owners did nothing to help us. We called the RCMP and they just drove by and did not come in to help us. When it quieted down (at around 3am) we packed up our things and went out to our vehicle only to find it had been kicked in by someone at the party. I reported this to the RCMP but since we didn't see it being done, they could do nothing. We banged on the owners' door (which was just next door to our cabin) and they did not answer (even though the lights in their house were on and their dog was barking). After several attempts to contact the owners they finally returned our calls days later and refunded the cost of our stay. (Although that didn't quite cover the expense of fixing the damage to our vehicle). Also, the RCMP officer told me that this place is known for such activity, so he didn't recommend it (and of course we would never staty there again anyway).

Positives: Cheap (but you get what you pay for)

Negatives: Staff were not helpful(teenagers who party along with the younger guests that stay there).
Owners take no responsbility for your safety during your stay.
Cabins are outdated and not well kept.
