Staff were amazing. When I booked with Expedia the room said it had a balcony which was why I chose that room. When we were given room it did not have one. I spoke with ladies at desk and they said that was Expedia error but they worked their magic and moved us to a balcony room. So kind and accommodating. Excellent service by them and all staff. Breakfast was great as well.

Beautiful property with big, homey rooms. The grounds are lovely with a bridge. The breakfast was very good. You can walk across the parking lot to the Essenhaus restaurant, which serves both off the menu and buffet amish food. They also have a bakery. Overall, a nice experience.
