Guest Review: The front desk was wonderful and the rooms were new/clean
Guest Review: Very much like being a celebrity in the 1920’s. Music flowed throughout the hotel and it was all music from the 1920s era. There are no televisions. The huge great room has seating for doing puzzles, for playing games and cards, for just sitting at the large fireplace and engaging with other guests. The large veranda outside has a fire pit and tables scatter throughout overlooking a beautiful landscaped yard and little Creek. Very peaceful and quiet. Would come back.
Guest Review: Loved the property, staff was helpful and friendly, and the restaurant was excellent! Our favorite pizza ever tried was the honey pepperoni pizza the best ever. Loved that we got to feed the chickens and to try and come close to the llamas too.
