    Though the beds were not comfortable, everything was neat and friendly.

    Innkeeper Response
    We are truly sorry that your bed was not comfortable. All our mattresses are on the harder side and not everyone appreciates that. Next time you plan to stay with us please ask for a bed with a softer mattress.

    Hospitality and food are phenomenal. We have done the golf package as a group for several years. They (Kathy and Victor) have been wonderfully accommodating to our group. The rooms are unique and lovely.
