The location of the property and the view is incredible. Unfortunately, the cost of the room does not align with what you actually get…you get an outdated room with a torn headboard, poorly cleaned furniture and curtains with dirty carpet and a room with spiders and other insects crawling around. What a waste of a potentially beautiful and historic hotel.

It is a beautiful building and property, marred right now by construction stuff. But the interior is still beautiful, staff very friendly and helpful. And because not full, we got primo seat by big new windows for breakfast buffet - absulutely stunning.

Would have been better if Expedia offered the same deal as the hotel. The hotel was offering pay for 2 nights and get the third for free. Didn’t find out until we arrived at the hotel and the hotel would not honor rate because of booking with Expedia. Expedia didn’t show parking was $30 per night.

Red Roof Inn

Stayed in cottage away from main building. I don’t recommend their cottages. Reminded me of a $79.00 a night red roof in room. Electric outlets worked occasionally. Shower ran out of hot water fast. Furnishing’s were sparse to say the least. Did have a great coffee maker. Thermostat didn’t work. Cold in room without recourse to heat. Stay in main building rooms instead. After all incredible location.saw a few deer.
