Can't have it any better big windows so we can see the pretty View of the forest central air for the summer heat for the winter

We rented the enclosed picnic shelter for a birthday party. The person who had the key for us to check in wasn't at the kiosk when we got there so we had to drive to another building to find them. We barely missed them there and ended up driving BACK to the original kiosk to get the key. Wasted a lot of time to set up for the party. When we finally got to the picnic shelter they had removed several of the tables in the building, the doors on one side of the building would not unlock so they weren't usable, several of the windows wouldn't open, the hearth of the fireplace and the floors were very dirty. The experience was not nearly as nice as several other times we rented it in the past. We will probably find a different place for birthday parties from now on.

The indoor shelter house was perfect. The check in and out process was easy. There are multiple electrical outlets and a microwave available. Many tables and chairs. The big windows allowed us to feel like we were outside while getting to enjoy the air conditioning on a very hot day. Parking is close. The restrooms are right next door. And the price is incredibly reasonable. We had a celebration of life and easily accommodated about 45 people. We will definitely rent this shelter again if we need to have a gathering.
