"We loved our stay here. It felt so peaceful and we felt at home. The place was clean which we always appreciate. There is plenty of room here. Although we were bummed that we didn’t get to use the pool due to the colder weather at the time plus the pool was dirty but nonetheless, it is an amazing place and we just enjoyed looking outside."
