Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Very nice old colonial style main house set in extensive grounds. Our room was at the far end of the property looking out onto a large lake and trees. We were away from all traffic noise and treated to birdsongs instead. The pool is large and well maintained.
Summary: We only stayed one night here but wished it was longer.
