Oversll a very relaxing and peaceful location
Pros:

Very clean, comfortable. The pool, beach area and dock for fishing were a great idea. Quiet location and friendly people! Kitchen facilities were nice.

Cons:

Needs more cooking utensils, updated pots/ frying pans, only had 1 wine glass, 3 coffee cups, 2 glasses, 3 cereal bowls. We purchased our own non-stick frying pan and spatula to be able to cook our eggs and pancakes.

Calm, peaceful and old-school
Pros:

This feels like a throwback - an old-fashioned family hotel. We enjoyed the spacious, clean rooms and the nice balcony overlooking the river. Great stay for our family of three.

Great place to stay
Pros:

We were suppose to have a river view room and when we arrived the room we were given was not river view. They did change it with no problem and the lady in the office was very nice about it. The room was exceptionally clean. I would definitely stay there again.
