This is our 2nd stay and we had another wonderful night here. This is our base camp before we head to Reggae on the River. We will stay here every year going forward annually! The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and staff very friendly!! We were even allowed to leave our third car for the long weekend in their parking lot, and for free! Thanks we love staying here!!
