The woman that checked us in was one of the best parts, she was so helpful I wish I could remember her name.. We did not do the 4 corse dinner but the other food we had was so good I regret not going for it. It was raining the first night and was nice and sunny the 2nd visiting in mid September I can’t say enough about our stay, and will be back...
