yes process was easy......only critique is to charge 75/hr for early check in when clearly there was no one there prior to our stay seems excessive.

Best View and Location

We enjoyed our Easter vacation with the family. There was 11 of us. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. We enjoyed waking up to the beautiful view of the May River. The location was great. Walking and biking distance to everything. Highly recommend and will stay here again.

Amazing!

This worked out amazing for our leadership team. There was a building on property for meetings, a firepit in the back we enjoyed. Everyone had private room and bathroom. It was perfect!
