Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a lovely stay, so tranquil. Couldn’t ask for nicer outdoor surroundings. So nice to have the coffee in the main room any time of day, it was a nice little treat at 6pm to go get a little pick me up of coffee and say hi to the other guests. Didn’t make it to the sauna, maybe next time. The whirlpool bath has a tv in the bathroom which is cool. Only complaint would be the smell of cigarette smoke as the smoke does come in from the windows from the smokers on their porches. Otherwise a most pleasant stay.

Overall it's not a bad place. We got in early and the staff let us check in. We needed to get ready for a wedding so that was really helpful. The air unit was a little noisy, but everything else was fine.
