We were a group of 10 and we were so impressed at how wonderful the staff and accommodations were. Rooms were so comfortable and having laundry available was a real plus! The staff went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. They have a great introductory book for the area in each room. If we pass this way again we will stay here❤️
