We loved everything except the AC was not working. The room remained anywhere from 75/78 degrees . We made numerous phone calls trying to get this rectified but do to the holiday weekend they were unable to get a service technician. We were offered another room which felt even warmer than our current room. Staff at provision company was outstanding and friendly.

My husband and I were looking for a quiet and peaceful place to celebrate our 10th anniversary. This was a wonderful fit for us! We had a warm welcome with checking in. We had a slight hiccup with the AC. Staff was helpful and very prompt in finding a solution. Which was greatly appreciated. We mainly took in the scenery. We did not take advantage but, there were plenty of amenities. We do hope to stay again in the future.
