Positive: The location is amazing. If you want a nice rest in a beautiful place, go for it. Stephanie is truly welcoming and helpful, so is all the personnel. We arrived late and she let our dinner in the fridge, with a bottle of wine. Our house was facing the river and the morning view was great.
Negative: The bath mat wasn't clean.
