Facility was clean & reasonably quiet but very dated. Expensive for what you get! Could be because of limited options in the area. Looks way better online than actual facility!

Disliked: Amenities
Minimalist surroundings at best. There wasn't even a box of tissues. I suppose I should be happy there was soap and shampoo. It was nice having a refrigerator -- although the ice build-up in the freezer showed me it hadn't been cleaned in quite a long time. The noisy heatng unit kept me from having a decent night's sleep however.

Everything about the property, the views and staff were perfect. The river was stunning and dozens of Canada geese swimming down it made it magical. The drive around the are was equally stunning and the leaves were changing colors which topped everything off. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed in one of the refurbished rooms and it was very nice. Very clean. A short walk across the backyard and you can stand at the river edge and relax.
