Nice quiet place. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Nothing fancy, but everything you need. I did appreciate the individual dehumidifier in our room because it did get humid and it made a huge difference. We had stayed a night in Kentucky and everything felt wet. Even the sheets and I think it was from the high humidity level. We did not have that issue here. The setting is beautiful however, the “Mountain View“ room really isn’t a Mountain View because there are trees that block your view, but it was still very nice. The rocking chairs on the patio of each room was a really nice touch. Would definitely stay here again.

Close to park. Nice pool. Room was nice sized, but the bathroom was older and a little bit icky. There was a dehumidifier in the room and the air conditioner and between the two of them they were very noisy. I thought the price was high for what it was.
