Astounding beauty outside, a stylish, cozy feeling inside. We stayed in a mountain view room on the main building, and really enjoyed our short stay. We'll be back to try to trails on property. The room is spacious (much larger than it looked in the pictures), the view amazing, and the grounds are gorgeous. Fantastic property, and lovely service. Highly recommended.

The personnel are all very kind. The breakfast is good, better than average, and the location is very good. There was something running inside the walls of our room that you could hear but it wasn’t so loud that it would interfere with your sleep.

Wow!!! This hotel is more than what we all had expected! It’s clean! I got a garden view room with my 2 boys. It was the cutest room! It was so clean and everything you need is in the room. We went on a little hike with my 2 boys while we were there. They have umbrella available. They have boots available for me AND my boys. They were at the beautiful green house. I cannot recommend more about this hotel! We would def return!
