"My husband and I LOVED our stay here! We rented the suite and it was AWESOME. I am a HUGE stickler for a clean room and ESPECIALLY the bathroom. IT WAS SO CLEAN IT SPARKLED! The bed linens were neat and clean and the towels were folded neatly and in place. I love the fact there were extra towels, hand towels, and washcloths. Our host made sure to send us activities that we could do around the area. And also left us a bottle of wine as a thank you for our stay. (Thank you Sara!)Just loved everything about this place. I rate it a 100 out of 100. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND"
