"The property was gorgeous with so much to do! We played golf, tennis, used the pool, hiked and truly enjoyed the convenience of the free shuttle service. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We especially enjoyed sitting on the front porch relaxing in the rockers. Since we were a group of eight (4 couples), we brought goodies and created our own “happy hour” sitting and outside! We couldn’t have asked for a better four days!"
