Good weekend stay. Very clean and had fun at the new pickleball courts. Service at the restaurant is spotty but I think it is due to the staffing shortage at many hotels. They could use an inside seating area for guests to play games. Plenty of outside gathering spots that can't be used during cold evenings.

We arrived at 2pm with a pre-check through Expedia but our room was not ready until shortly after 5pm. We also asked for a downstairs unit and we were upstairs. Not happy with the checkin experience however our room was clean and it was quiet and we enjoyed our stay. Hopefully our next check in experience will be better.

My husband, dog and i arrived an hour earlier than the checking time, and our room was ready for us to get the key. Beautiful weather. The surroundings were very peaceful and enjoyable. Had some questions about the fireplace under the gazebo, and we asked one of the grounds keepers for the info, and he was very helpful and had a great attitude. We were sad to leave. We will definitely going back.
