Such a great stay! Some of the staff were excellent to work with and have conversations with. The room was large and quaint. The pool was secluded and fairly quiet. Convenient location for walking to eat and explore. The only issue we had was the shower only out out hot water and we couldn’t take a shower because it was too hot. They told us the plumber could not come on the weekend. We had the option to switch to a queen room or keep or king room. Apart from that issue this was a great place to stay.

Beautiful 1884 mansion, I called to request the Queen 5 cottage in back for privacy. It didn't disappoint, great A/C, fans, bed comfie, the bathtub a little hard to get out of, a grab bar would help. Emily is the BEST of the staff, went above and beyond! They all remembered our names, what room we were in and it was cleaned daily, a nice surprise and nice pool area! All the staff were friendly, we had waters, sodas & snacks available at all times! Also it is in a quiet residential neighborhood, away from noisy bars.

The mansion was great. The staff were excellent. Emily gave the background on the house and the security guard gave us a wonderful tour even though we got in really late. I would recommend this location to anyone. It’s a must stay!
