My son and I spent three nights at this hotel. This is a hotel that caters to horse lovers and riders. Though we did not do any horse back riding, we did appreciate that each room was dedicated to a past or present horse on the premises. A plaque with the horse's name and other information was next to each hotel room. The room and bathroom were very clean. There is a restaurant on the premises for dinner and breakfast. The breakfast buffet was extensive and dinner was a la carte and delicious.

Check in was a breeze. The room and bathroom were very clean. The blankets on the bed were super warm. I did not come for the horseback riding experience, but i think anyone who loves to ride horses would be happy here.
