Buddha Bing Cottage and Cabins

The room smelled bad, was dirty, and had hard stains on the bed. The place seemed poorly maintained, and the advertising felt false. For the price, it wasn’t worth it. If it were a couple hundred cheaper, it would feel much fairer for what you get. I’d never come back, and I don’t understand the positive reviews.

We paid $600 for one night, with a shared bathroom and poor customer service. There were cobwebs throughout the tiny room, nails sticking up from the floor, and stains everywhere, so we couldn’t even tell whether the sheets had been changed. We were charged nearly $250 in cash penalties for bringing our small service dog, who was perfectly behaved. The owners wouldn’t discuss any of it with us, even though we were model clients staying just one evening. This place was terrible in every possible way. I’d look at other properties.

We ended up having a great two-night stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book again, though some people may be less comfortable with the things we noticed. The cabins are small, about 10x12 inside, but enough for two since you’re not indoors all day. Ours was super clean, and the layout worked better than we expected for a little outdoor cabin. There’s a small fridge, microwave, and personal Keurig. The bathroom is shared with cabins 1 and 2, but it was perfectly fine for using and showering. We visited in mid-September, and the cabin got damp at night, though the small modern electric heater worked well for the space. One thing I’d add is a small bedside light, since there’s only the 60-100 watt wall bulb. At $160 per night it felt a bit expensive for the location and cabin, maybe just the tourism pricing. Other places in town cost more, but many are right by town and the tourist spots, which can save on parking. The drive or walk is short, but you still have to make it. We booked because of the reviews and because nowhere else in town was available. It wasn’t quite what my wife and I expected, but taking a chance turned out to be probably the best decision we could have made.

We had a mini fridge and microwave in the room, and could use the BBQ and firepit without bringing our own wood. The bathroom wasn’t attached to our room, but it was newly renovated and very nice. It’s a great place to stay, and I’d definitely visit again.
