Loved the look and feel of the place! Got up early, grabbed an awesome cup of coffee down in the main area, and sat in front of the massive fireplace listening to soft music! Could not have been any better! Pool and hot tub were great and the helpfulness of the happy staff was unmatched! Can't wait to go back!
