Property was nice creek in front was pretty, room was very spacious and clean, apple juice at breakfast is great! My only dislikes are not everyone eats sausage, bacon at breakfast would be great. And maybe a large mirror in the room, hard to ready with more than 1 woman in the room. Over all great place to stay still will give 10/10!
