My stay here was quite disappointing overall. While the location was beautiful with great views, the cottage itself was cold, musty, and in disrepair. Comfort was lacking with uncomfortable furniture and no proper heating. Paid $359, but it felt like a waste of money. I would recommend seeking other accommodations nearby.

I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel, especially for the writing retreat I attended. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, though they could really use a deep clean. I appreciated the beautiful spa to unwind after a long day of work. However, I found the location a bit tricky for walking paths and was disappointed with the restaurant's limited hours. Overall, it offers good value for those needing a working getaway, but it's not perfect.

The hotel has beautiful views and a cozy atmosphere, but it feels more like a motel than luxury accommodations. While the breakfast basket was varied and enjoyable, there were issues with cleanliness and maintenance in the room. It also lacked proper amenities like a clock radio and sufficient water supplies. The overall experience was decent, but certainly far from ideal.

Rooms

The room was a good size and had a gas log fireplace and spa bath, but we encountered ants and a filthy exhaust fan. It felt cozy yet not particularly luxurious.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with beautiful views, although the noise from the nearby highway can be distracting. While the amenities are a plus with a lovely spa and an excellent independent restaurant nearby, the service experiences fell short due to issues with access to emergency assistance at night. Overall, it presents a decent option for a getaway, yet there are better value alternatives.
