A large adult timber rattlesnake sunning in some tall grass that picked up its head for a better look at me which is the only reason I spotted it. I rarely see this behavior as timber rattlers would rather remain silent, still and out of sight. This one seemed to be guarding something so I took a few shots and retreated.

5/5 Excellent

Comfortable Stay with Friendly Service

"Very comfortable bed with ample pillows. Great service. A plus is the hot breakfast that is included with your stay. Also fun to see Irish Dancing in the pub on Saturday evening and folk-pop singer on Sunday evening. All the staff were extremely friendly and attentive."

Restful weekend

"If you are looking for a quiet place to get away this is it. It’s close to the attractions yet remote enough to get your rest and sleep. We stayed at the whirlpool suite and absolutely loved it. Complimentary breakfast is a plus. "
