Perfect Stay
We stayed here to celebrate our 25th anniversary and are very glad we did. Beautiful property and rooms, great service. Impressed with the free breakfast which included high quality eggs, sausage, potatoes, belgian waffles and assortment of pastries. Best included breakfast we've had. Highly recommend and we plan on staying here again.
