Expensive but so new, clean and beautiful. Fancy. A railroad track right behind. Charges for water. Restaurant wasn’t suitable for my son so he went across the road to a fast food. Restaurant could have compensated for a fly in my wine. They were kind but just changed the glass and gave less wine lol

Property looked really great - omitted from pictures non-rover view, which I’m glad we did NOT get, but also omitted from river view the train tracks right next to the river… No nature part to actually enjoy the rover and …all in all - a may have been holiday in in the middle of nowhere. Also there was a surprise $100 pet fee where superior properties charge $50 or nothing.

We booked this hotel to attend an engagement party and it was the perfect place. There aren’t a lot of good options in this area. The Watershed was excellent. We’ll be back in September for the wedding.
