stunning spot, perfect for a bigger group

What a wonderful set up. We had a 50th birthday party with family and friends and it was perfect for our needs. The beds were super comfortable and the rooms were beautiful. The amenities were perfect for our requirements and the pool table kept people entertained all day long! I would definitely go back!
