Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Great owners and Rachel the cook was very nice abd helpful. As a retired chef, I can say this was a cool experience to relax and not cook while enjoying my stay here. Thanks to the owners! The receptionist could be a little bit sour acting, but the rest of the staff was WONDERFUL!
Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024
