We had a wonderful stay at Ancient Lore Village! All of the employees were very friendly and the landscaping and attention to detail is superb. We happened to stay on a Wednesday night so we joined the trivia night and ate shredded pork nachos which was available for purchase while we played. There is not a restaurant on site, so this worked for us for our dinner. We sat by the fire pit afterwards and enjoyed the fire and the company of the other couple that was also staying there. Our room was a delight. It was fun to take in all the details that went into its design. There were complimentary drinks in the fridge and French press coffee. The quality of the bed linens, pillows and towels were in the luxury category. We turned on the electric fireplace before bedtime and relaxed on the two rocking chairs in front. In the morning a club car picked us up and took our luggage back to our car for us (it is a little walk uphill to the parking lot). Overall, a fun splurge that is a highlight of our road trip.

This property looks exactly like the pictures. They were having an event the night we checked in and there was a note on the front door to check in at the lower pavilion with no other direction on how to get there in the dark. Since there was an event I thought we could order dinner but that was only an option if you bought tickets to the event. There isn't anything close so eat before hand. Once checked in we could hear our neighbors conversation clearly so it didn't provide the privacy we were hoping for and we found ourselves whispering during our stay. The gremlin rooms are under the dining room so we heard every foot step when they started setting up at 8am. This was hard for us since we knew brunch wasn't until 11:30 it felt like they could have waited a little later. Overall very nice well decorated hotel but for the price and location I was picturing more quiet and privacy.
