Property is really nice, grass is gorgeous, alpaca and deer nearby, which is fun. Room really nice and spacious. Rooms are clean for sure, could use a deep clean though, ie corners in the bathroom and light switches are dirty. Overall it’s a great hotel, pleasant staff and great location. Would stay again. 👍
