An amazing one of a kind property that is a rare find. I didn't know what to expect but I was very impressed. The staff was very attentive from the moment we checked in and very helpful with every question we had. We stayed 2 nights because we booked an all day tour. The rooms were clean, with ample parking close to our room. Breakfast at the restaurant was very nice and the dining room was very clean, comfortable, and food fresh. Whenever I'm in Oakhurst or nearby, I will stay here. Loyalty means something to me and they have a lifelong customer. Thank you for great experience, our family appreciates you.
