Inn at Lost Creek

Inn at Lost Creek

10/10 Excellent
"Loved the beautiful property and the room was spacious. The sheets were the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. The only problem was the master bedroom’s tv and chest were in the corner where you had to squeeze by them - tv would have been better on the wall and find smaller chest. But with the view and furnishings one of the best places I’ve ever stayed."
