Nice place

We have stayed here several times. Beds and pillows are comfortable, very clean. Old tub/shower. Groundsare nice. Pool is clean, nice gazebo to sit under our chairs in the grass. It’s old but for the money it’s worth it.

A clean, well run, well arranged, conveniently located, older property. Nothing modern, but everything you need and everything where it should be. Comfortable beds and the rooms are well accoutremented.

Firmest mattress ever.

It was clean, but the mattress was the firmest I've encountered, and I used to be a bedding manager for AV.

Great place, horrible mattresses.

The location, landscaping, amenities, and pool are awesome. The staff is very kind. The rooms are decent sized and have, microwaves, refrigerators & coffee makers. The only reason they aren't getting a 5 start review is because the beds are the worst we have ever slept on. It's like a cheap matress sitting on plywood. We both struggled for 3 nights straight this trip and 3 nights 4 weeks ago in the jaccuzi room. We gave them a second chance in case it was just one room with a bad mattress. Unfortunately, until they upgrade the mattresses, we won't be back.
