With a variety of price points for the rooms this was a great stopping point for our weekend travels! If you’re just staying overnight, go ahead and choose one of the lesser priced Lodge rooms and make sure you enjoy the breakfast in the morning! For a true tree upgrade And take one of the public house rooms in the main buildings. I love that you have a variety of options. The restaurant was wonderful and we will definitely be back.

Many of the rooms, such as the one we stayed in, are in separate motel units scattered on the grounds. The units are completely average. There is no breakfast provided. The dining room was nicer with excellent food.

Beautiful property, clean and comfortable rooms, and surprisingly affordable for the quality. Unfortunately we couldn't stay long since we were just passing through, but I will definitely make it a point to stay here again if I'm ever in the area again.

Something blue.
I purchased room for my daughter and her new husband the night they married. I INFORMED WELL IN ADVANCE AND EVEN CALLED WHEN THEY WERE IN THE WAY. .this place didn't even have a card let alone a bottle of water to welcome newly Weds. In fact. The front entrance was so poorly lit and hidden that the couple drive in circles for 15 min trying to figure out how to get in. The room was lovely. The staff. Very friendly. But again. No water or anything. They had to go all the way back down to desk in search of a simple drink to take medication.i just think with the cost there would be a little bit more attention to details. I'm also a little beyond hurt that I even spoke with them directly about my daughters special day and they couldn't be motivated.
