Very clean. Stayed with two young children under 3. The pool was very nice. Beautiful outdoor spaces , plus playground across the street was a nice bonus. 24hr café , option to take out food from the resto and complementary s’mores kits, helped us make the most of our stay at this beautiful resort.

Wow. Beautiful relaxing work trip.
This resort was great! I was here on business, but chose this resort for the indoor pool lap swim. I wish I was able to stay longer to enjoy everything the resort offers! The customer service was excellent!

This place isn’t cheap, but (in the summer) there are many activities on site so we thought it was worth it. Nice pool, yard games, spa, etc. we enjoyed our stay very much. Also liked that we could check in earlier to use the outdoor pool.

Very, very lovely-and versatile.
Came for an overnight- would have loved to stay longer! Friendly staff, smores by the fire, goats out back, all night bakery case with pastries- AND beer/wine! A lovely quiet location ( which was why I selected the location- staying the night before SAT testing) but offers good food, activities, 2 pools,Tennis, hot tub- and the peaceful relaxation also.

4/10 Fair

Mediocre Holiday Inn quality
Don’t let the spa/resort label fool you. The place had a 1980s Holiday Inn vibe, with a musty barely functional AC unit. Fine if you’re passing through on the road. Not a place to hang around. We left a day early and cut our losses
