A clean, homey stay. The food in the restaurant is amazing (kudos to the chef!) and the rooms feel like entering a good childhood memory. The staff is surprisingly young and sweet. Highly recommend.

Great spot for families

We stayed in a family room with a double bed and two twin beds which worked great for our family of four. The property has a nice playground which my kids really enjoyed. They also have a social room with pool table, football table, couches and tv/dvd collection. The staff were very helpful and they have coffee, tea and hot chocolate readily available for guests.
