"This is a really wonderful hotel. We stayed in the main building and had a lovely view of trees and the river. The grounds of the property are beautifully maintained with gardens, fountains, fire pits, and more. It's a really peaceful experience to stay here. We had breakfast from the little food truck and sat in the garden watching the butterflies. Would definitely stay here again."
