We had a wonderful stay! I was most impressed with how clean the entire place was, as well as how well stocked it was with anything we needed and more. The thorough information provided in advance were very appreciated, as well. The king bed was very comfortable, my husband and I joked that we needed to take it home! lol My kids said the other beds were comfortable as well, and we all slept great over our 3 night stay. If we come to the area again, we’ll definitely stay at “stone’s throw” again!
