The property is absolutely gorgeous! Very well maintained. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed. The only downside was the mattress had seen better days. It was saggy and uncomfortable. I did share this with the desk at checkout and they said they would definitely send someone to replace it and were very grateful that I had shared this so they could fix it. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!
