This was a great location, very comfortable stay for friends to gather! I met two old friends here for a weekend girls’ reunion trip and this was a perfect base camp. The rooms were very clean and comfortable - it was especially nice to each have our own bathroom. The location is really nice and the owner was very responsive. Would definitely recommend.
