The only problem we had is the very loud water sprinklers came on during the night waking my daughter, and the games had missing pieces so we were unable to play mouse trap with my grandson. Beautiful spacious property, secluded and private. Only saw the staff once on arrival they were a bit rushed as not on site when we arrived and only by chance they popped in. ![loved the prints around the unit.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/288a9769-4766-4811-904f-d629ee4f8ce7-1760906522395.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christine Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 28 Nov 2025 Not what you think as an American.
