This was a truly unique stay extremely private, very quiet. On property there is a tiki bar and taco truck serving wonderful food and great drinks with beer on tap and other choices. We felt very welcome. We sat in the Adirondack chairs outside our cottage, and there's also a private area through the French doors in our cottage, number 2. We arrested in the most comfortable bed. The cottage is well air-conditioned. Eerything about that college is extremely comfortable We had delicious tacos and fabulous drinks the night before. There are a couple of well-cared-for resident kitties on the property who are friendly and the staff was very helpful and attentive.
