We have stayed during multiple visits to the area and will stay again! Breakfast changes daily a bit and always something good! Toilet was a bit short for us being in our late fifties and being taller than 5’9” and it would have been nice to have a soft-close toilet seat, but everything else was absolutely stellar! Thank you for an amazing stay!
