"The property was beautiful and right on the river. The property was clean and well maintained. There is a well stocked store in the lobby for things you may have forgotten. The room was as advertised. We opened our room balcony door to listen to the river at night. Our only issue was food. The restaurant was rather average. The pizza restaurant was ok. Being the only 2 choices for meals for miles around, the food could have been better and more varied."

"When we drove up I wasn't so sure that we had made the best decision on staying here. We were put on the back part of the property in a part that was not attached to the main building. I was worried about safety. There were no issues though. The room was clean and very comfortable, The breakfast was in a separate building. This area was immaculate. We had lots of choices. The food was delicious. I am glad we stayed here."
