3 night stay in November: Resort was clean and quiet. Staff were friendly. The in room wood burning fire place in the premium suite was to die for. My only complaint was that the room was not cleaned one of the days. The beds were made but nothing else touched. Over all, this resort exceeded my expectations and I would absolutely stay again.

The staff and service were excellent and food was great. The hotel rooms are clean but the walls are thin (older buildings). Fireplaces in the rooms are very cool but the parking and other amenities are not up to par with other hotels in the area.
