The house was clean, updated & the decorations were incredible reflecting the holiday season. The suite was spacious, clean the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. Very creative with the banana split pre breakfast dish. Half a banana with yogurt, almonds with chocolate drizzle. The main course was French toast pieces, whipped cream with raspberries. Staff member, Tonya was very informative, polite, friendly & great to talk to. We has a great stay & plan on coming back in May 2026

Ver nice staff. Everything in the room was fine. Breakfast was very good and innovative. Staff was knowledgeable about events and places around town. Nice area to read by the chimney could use a dedicated reading light. climate control in the Columbia room was individual for bathroom which is a very good idea. One is able to keep the room itself a little cooler than the bathroom!
