We had a lovely stay at Pleasant Valley resort cottage #10. The cottage was clean, welcoming, and gave us a peaceful retreat for our adventures. Tom and Shannon went out of their way to make us feel at home, and the information provided in the binder was incredibly helpful. On the downside, while the area is beautiful and quiet, we missed having a more scenic view from the cabin.
