We absolutely loved this place! It was cozy and clean. There was bottled water and chocolate covered almonds on the nightstand when we arrived. The grounds were nice with tables outside and chairs by our door where we could have coffee in the morning.There are pretty hanging flower baskets outside the rooms. The place is on the river with a mountain view out back. There is a pond with goldfish. The restaurant next door was great. Matt was a wonderful host. We hope to return on our next trip.
