The property is absolutely stunning, property like a presidential get-a-way on the lake. Quiet, serene, recharge your batteries there. Only problem - and it was a big one - the bed was too small for 2 average size people. It should not be rented as a 2 adults room. And the bed itself, once we were able to fit ourselves into it, was past its prime, totally lacked support. We thought we could get through our 2 nights - and we did - but we slept very, very little. It’s a strange thing really, because the hotel pays so much attention and at great expense, to so many details otherwise.

Expedia sent me a phony menu and wine pairing document that the hotel convincingly explained was not valid. I only made dinner reservations thru Expedia because of this promotion. The dining staff were very kind and apologetic .

This was a wonderful stop. We got to see the Orinithology Lab and a 13 minute bird video.

Great, but get there before they close at 4pm!

The Arboretum, a part of the botanic gardens, is beautiful this time of year. While flowers aren’t the main display, the trees make a run for their money with the bright and many shades of reds, oranges, yellows and greens. Come in the evening and make your way to the overlook for a perfect view of sunset. #mybackyard
