Very enjoyable. Would visit again.
Pros:

The breakfast both days was delicious.

Cons:

At breakfast on the second day the hostess seated us in the same vicinity as about 4 or 5 families with several children that were vacationing together. As you can imagine, breakfast was very loud and not very relaxing. Not exactly what we were hoping for before we started our drive home. We do not have anything against children, but they can be very rambunctious when they are hungry. Since the restaurant is large, better seating could have been arranged.

Excellent experience. No complaints.
Pros:

A little dated, but very clean! Indoor pool and hot tub could have used some detail cleaning, but no complaints. There are two indoor pools and a hot tub as well as a large outdoor pool.

It was quiet and sitting outside with the chairs outside the door, was nice talking with the
Pros:

The young man at the pool was very nice and told us about how the upcoming rainstorm would affect getting people out of the pool for their safety. He also showed us the weather app that showed lightning in the area.
There was only one other person in the pool area.
The desk staff was wonderful and helpful. The complementary farm tour was great, and Amy, was an added bonus with her firsthand knowledge of the area and her personal history.

Cons:

There was a sheet and a comforter on the King size bed. I was between just the sheet, and being a bit on the cool side, to pulling the comforter up and being too hot, the whole night. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep on Tuesday/Wednesday night. I slept better the second night in a different room with two Queens. It had a different blanket. I also appreciated the toilet with the added height.

Room was nice & pool complex great.
Pros:

N/A ate elsewhere

Cons:

Very slow check in with bus groups & 1 counter person who went thru elaborate tourist tours hand writing tour details for their pool & tour plans while this out of state registrant waited fourth in line desperate to use the bathroom while waiting as a placeholder in line. One staff person sat watching this slow meticulous gentleman registering people & should have jumped in to assist the next instead of sitting there like a bump on a log & 20 minutes later bidding the man working farewell as her shift was done. I dread another scene like this.
