Overall great stay, beautiful facility.
Pros:

Loved almost everything, I showed this past week and it was the perfect location. You can walk to the barns or it’s a quick 1-3 minute drive.

Cons:

There was some pipe noise that I could hear from our room. The router was also plugged in between the beds. It also had a low buzzing sound. Ended up having to turn on music in order to fall asleep due to the noises.
