"Location and staff were great!!The room Was quite small for the price paid!! I’ve traveled the world since 1972 and am familiar with older structures and small rooms!! The room was clean and everything worked!! I had to stand on my bed to change the air conditioner temperature and air flow!! Don’t recommend this type of room for older people!! Great breakfast staff!!!"

"Property is absolutely beautiful and well maintained, from all outdoor spaces to all interior spaces. Every staff person I came into contact with, from front desk staff to waitstaff in both restaurants, in the general store, carriage drivers, everyone was so warm and welcoming and helpful. Food in the restaurants was fantastic! Such a relaxing getaway. Make sure to check the daily events as they are great…beekeeping experience, candy wagon, wine and fudge tastings, s’mores on the lawn, pizza making, etc., are all included. Highly recommend!"
