Beautiful property! The staff was so helpful. We loved the amenities like being able to borrow a convertible Lexus for a few hours for a joyride and go see the scenic views. It was a very warm 80degree day when we stayed and unfortunately there is no AC in the room. But the staff did come and close the blinds/shades to help with that. There is a ceiling fan which helped too. It just was a warm night of sleep but I’m sure when it’s colder out it feels great.
