The property is absolutely stunning, property like a presidential get-a-way on the lake. Quiet, serene, recharge your batteries there. Only problem - and it was a big one - the bed was too small for 2 average size people. It should not be rented as a 2 adults room. And the bed itself, once we were able to fit ourselves into it, was past its prime, totally lacked support. We thought we could get through our 2 nights - and we did - but we slept very, very little. It’s a strange thing really, because the hotel pays so much attention and at great expense, to so many details otherwise.

The property was beautiful and quiet. Besides being in a beautiful location there were many activies available to do such as winery tours, paddle biarding, spa etc. If there were any questions or needs we simply sent a text and within a couple minutes we received an answer. Attention to detail was amazing as well! Even simple little things such as a light in the closet, info on how much caffeine was in the coffee pod, firepit lit at night with supplies for smores, best granola bar I've ever had. It was one of the best vacations I've had in a long time. If you want a quiet getaway I'd definitely recommend Inns of Aurora!
