Astounding beauty outside, a stylish, cozy feeling inside. We stayed in a mountain view room on the main building, and really enjoyed our short stay. We'll be back to try to trails on property. The room is spacious (much larger than it looked in the pictures), the view amazing, and the grounds are gorgeous. Fantastic property, and lovely service. Highly recommended.

The personnel are all very kind. The breakfast is good, better than average, and the location is very good. There was something running inside the walls of our room that you could hear but it wasn’t so loud that it would interfere with your sleep.
