"Great place in the trees. Beautiful! Room was good. Just no counter space in the bathroom. Small. Could be different in other rooms. It was hot while we were there. So not having air conditioning in the room was rough. Hard to sleep. Even with windows open. Then we could hear the Highway. It would be better during cooler months. Having the restaurant on premises was very nice. And good food."
