Stayed 4 nights. Same continental breakfast every morning. Rooms are clean and grounds well kept. Lots of deer sightings. A little annoyed they wanted extra $ to extend our check out for 1 hour … especially after staying 4 nights. Too bad!

Breakfast was great. Flooring in room was poor and we were told that the 2 person tub wasn’t to be used after 10:30 pm? Stayed here the night of our wedding , used the tub anyway. Bed was extremely hard.

The room with 2 queen beds was nice. The AC unit was loud. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The twin bed was in an alcove outside the bedroom- by the entrance door, the bathroom and the fridge. It was clean, but a hard mattress. It rained one night and water from the roof fell just outside the window onto the metal roof. Very loud, hard to sleep in the alcove. Thankfully it only rained one night.
