"This was a perfect place for us. My husband was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer that has spread to his brain. We live about 4 hours away and his mom lives in the area. She has dementia and this gave us a weekend for my husband to come see his mother and spread some time with her. We are hoping it’s not our last visit with her but we had a great time with great memories of it was our last. Thank you!"
