There is an inground alterdina shaped pool for all guests to enjoy, it is usually open by April 15th and usually closes when the leaves start falling, around October 1st! Leaves start changing color in September, usually yellow, then later September to orange, then October to brilliant reds.
We have many units, accommodating parties of one to twenty one!
If you are looking for a large party the earlier you book the better your chance of getting what you need! If your family is planning a wedding, you can have an intimate wedding up on the hill for up to 40 guests! Please ask about catering!
