The hotel is charming! If you're looking for new amenities, rooms and buildings this isn't it. We love this place. The grounds are beautiful with tons of trees and foliage. You feel like you're at a mountain lodge. The staff is kind and accommodating. The large breakfast buffet every morning is delicious.
