"This is a great place to stay! The room was very clean. There was plenty of parking right in front of the room we had. The pool was nice, but the water is cold. Not heated. But you get used to it and it feels great. The rooms with a king size bed have their own little patio with table and chairs out a sliding glass door. The view was very nice. We will stay here again."

"Great place in the trees. Beautiful! Room was good. Just no counter space in the bathroom. Small. Could be different in other rooms. It was hot while we were there. So not having air conditioning in the room was rough. Hard to sleep. Even with windows open. Then we could hear the Highway. It would be better during cooler months. Having the restaurant on premises was very nice. And good food."
