The unit is very spacious. Both bedrooms have balconies and there is a deck downstairs that looks on a small creek. Enjoyed the wildlife. Utica and Ottawa, the two closest cities, are quaint and nice places for dining. We didn't use the waterpark but what fun that would be for little ones.Martin is extremely quick to respond.
