Property was remote. That was the appeal. The 2nd floor and room Iwas in had had some water damage and leaking that really bothered my allergies. I woke up stuffy and the carpet fresh used in the hallway was overwhelming.

The property itself is fabulous, so beautiful with the river. Perfect for a relaxing stay, while the staff are polite, they seemed bored and not talkative. The property would be 5 star with more attention to customer service and being personable with guests. The food is okay but the woman working was very welcoming.
