Clean and private. Quaint, beautifully maintained grounds. They properly captured the mid century vibe that we love. Door front parking was great. The “library” was lovely, as well as beautiful private koi pond area. We’re already planning our next visit!

Good location for what we planned to do but the room itself had not been updated for many years. The air conditioner was extremely loud, making it difficult to sleep. The room door did not automatically lock when leaving - had to turn a key to lock and unlock the room. We did appreciate the breakfast area and the garden area.
