This was the perfect weekend get away with amazing amenities. Itβs your own personal spa retreat with the hot tub, sauna, massage chairs. Conveniently located to lots of restaurants.
We stayed here for my birthday weekend with our 2 pups and found it difficult to want to leave. We enjoyed the massage chairs, the sauna, the cold plunge, and the hot tub. The lighting in the backyard at nighttime was so relaxing and truly felt like our own oasis away from the world. What stood out the most is a big storm rolled through the first night we were there and a bunch of branches fell off the trees, disconnecting a strand of lights and shattering them. I contacted them the next morning to let them know what happened and less than 2 hours later they were there fixing the strand and cleaning the glass. Lisa was absolutely delightful and we loved how on top of things her and Shawne were during the stay. We absolutely cannot wait to stay here and at their other locations again in the future.
