It would get 5 stars but if you’re light sleepers don’t take a room on the first floor. Our upstairs neighbors definitely disturbed the peace, stomping and dropping things at midnight and then again at 7am. The property is gorgeous, the staff is courteous, and we loved our morning hike in the forest.
