This property was fantastic. The room looked like it had just been tastefully renovated, and the grounds were immaculate. Other features, like plant-spaced car parking, a very nice outdoor pool, and available BBQs rounded out our list of top additional features. We had a fantastic two nights at this wonderful property.
