9.4/10 Exceptional! (270 reviews)

Beautiful setting. Noticed a few housekeeping items that needed attention. Shelves super dusty, inside of the bathroom door was dirty, really very minor things, and would stay here again in a heartbeat! I loved that the menu in Drinkwaters was small and to the point. Yummy food. The girl from the UK working in the restaurant was a hoot! Keep her around, she knows her stuff!!! Tried to go to Della’s across the street, said it was open at 8am and arrived at 8:10am and was dark and not a soul around. Wanted to try it, oh well. Overall, a great stay in a quiet and peaceful setting and would definitely return!

The view from our suite was wonderful! The unit was well equipped (except for a cookie sheet or pizza pan, which would have been nice). We like the location because we could easily do day trips and there was nice walking paths close by. Hope to be back one day.
