Awesome place to stay!!

Top of our list of most unique places weve visited!! Loooooove the way the sky castle was built. Decor felt very homey and simply elegant. We stayed for only one night but if we had more time we would have stayed more. Our kids dreaded leaving and having to go back home. Excellent location, very clean and just overall and amazing experience. Thank you so much for having us.
