"Excellent relaxing weekend compliments to chef for breakfast and dinner. Poolside bar was casual and friendly. Tennis courts need some love but newly surfaced paddle ball courts. The lap pool was my favorite way to cool off but we swam in four pools during our stay. Room dated yet beds, sheets, towels and bath all excellent. Everything was clean. All staff from grounds crew, pool and tennis , bar, restaurant, front desk friendly and engaging. We even enjoyed a couple old time games shuffle board and horse shoes."

"The cabin was absolutely AMAZING! The pictures of the deck on the site dont do it justice- more spectacular in person. My wife and I spent our anniversary weekend just relaxing and enjoying the amazing views. The cabin has everything you need and we appreciated how secluded you feel in the woods on the property. The hidden trails on the private grounds were much larger than we expected and we enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels visit every morning. Check-in was a breeze and Rick was great, even checking on us to ensure everything was as expected. Highly recommend and we will be back."
