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!

Carla was amazing. My friend left her phone cord in our room. She called a few days later and Carla sent it to her.
