I wish we could’ve stayed longer. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Every staff member was beyond helpful and friendly. Breakfast delivered to our door in the morning was healthy and delicious. Pool was clean and relaxing. The room was immaculate. We will definitely be planning a fall trip. Thank you so much. Places like this don’t exist anymore. We travel a lot. This place is truly a gem.

LOVED LOVED LOVED!!!

This place is super cute! We absolutely fell in love with this place. The receptionist kept in contact with us about everything. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed the night we arrived, But they gave us a great list of places to choose from for dinner. We didn't feel like getting all dolled up after driving so long, so we ended up at Friskos (I think that's what its called) in the same parking as The Oldtime Pub. The inn provided breakfast the next morning of French toast, fresh fruit, yogurt and granola,, bacon and egg muffin.. it was wonder and all tasted soooo great! They also gave us directions to a beautiful waterfall which we really loved! We will definitely be back! Id really love to see this place in the fall / spring. 100% one of the best places we have stayed.

This property is so peaceful and sureen. The property is very beautiful and the restaurant is excellent. The staff is very helpful and nice. This is our second time hete but our first time to stay. The room was very comfortable and large. It was so nice to be able to have 2 large comfy chairs in the king size room. The bed was very comfortable. It was so nice to have 2 rocking chairs and a small table to enjoy the view. The only 2 recommendations would to have a small table in between the 2 chairs indoors so you could sit and put a drink or book on the table. The other recommendation would to have an earlier breakfast option in the restaurant. We are early risers and wanted to start early for a long hike and the only option was to eat in our room. Even doing that the earliest we could eat was 8:30am. It woyld have been nice to eat in tbe restaurant at 8am.

We had a delightful two-night stay here. Our room was homey and the bed was comfortable. The property is quiet and calm, enhanced by the bubbling pool fountains and birdsong. The breakfast menu varied in offerings, but was consistently delicious. The staff worked us in for dinner at the restaurant our second night, and it was equally yummy. We so appreciated the kind, helpful staff, especially Alex.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
We booked this the day before, Thursday arrived Friday early evening. Checked in went to our room and found no TV. My wife and I have been married 46 years. We like to watch Tv before bed. I went to the office and they said I should have read the web site. We were there for maybe 15 minutes before I went to the office. I told them we can not stay and we want to cancel. They informed me of the 7 day cancellation policy. So NO refunds. I paid $530.00 for two nights. We left and they kept all of my money. Very upset. I will never go again nor would I recommend it!!!
