    The bed room was a disgrace no electricity no heating one blanket it was that cold I couldn’t sleep in morning couldn’t move

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great place! More relaxing than a hotel with a fire pit, grills, and full kitchen to use and make the stay more enjoyable

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Cute room, pretty grounds, friendly staff, large kitchen available Only 1 out of 3 toilets was operational while we were there, water for shower was only briefly hot.

    The only thing I didn't like about the stay was the weather, which is always a variable. It was rainy and cold during my stay. The place was quiet. The guests varied and interesting.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    No, it's kinda like camping but that was the expectation.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    The kitchen area was not organized or clean. The refrigerator was gross. The only sink you had to wash face or brush teeth had a community towel, no paper towels.

    Very interesting place. I would definitely bring my grandson here. He would enjoy the tree house stay. Nice, it was close to airport & a good rest.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    We enjoyed our stay in the tree house. It was warm and cozy and it had electricity! Svens is close to the airport and a road that you hear a decent amount of noise from both.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Location was decent. Bathroom facilities were decent and clean, and staff friendly. Did not realise from details while booking that the room was a wall tent, with outside noise very evident at night. Maybe I didn't look closely enough at details, but the main photo shown was of a cabin, not a tent.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    They were very accommodating and kind! We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location and neat little cabins

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    We stayed in the Indiana Jones Treehouse, which was a unique and wonderful experience. The dry cabin has electricity and heat with a comfortable bed and a porch with a table and view of the wooded surroundings. The shared bathrooms and warm showers were consistently clean. Occasional short-term aircraft noise overhead approaching or departing the nearby airport.

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    Mosquitoes in room but not too bad

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    The accommodations were fantastic and the view was spectacular. The gravel road to the yurt was just bit bumpy on a motorcycle .

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    There's nothing I didn't like.
